Re: White screen at install

That’s almost certainly due to a PHP error, and errors are not being shown in the browser on your host. I suspect something in config.php is amiss. Can you post the config.php, or look for these common errors:

  • strings must be quoted (like your akismet key if you entered one)
  • your domain name, home and siteurl must all be quoted (due to slashes and colon)
  • possible problem with the table prefix for bb or wp?

If you have a command line at your host, you can also check the syntax of the config.php file by running:

php -l config.php

No syntax errors detected in config.php

that’s a lowercase L after the php

Post your config (edit out the good stuff) if you need more help.
