Title: Blank screen after db page of install wizard
Post by: JeroenMX on August 12, 2008, 20:38:07

Hi,

I got the blank screen, too, after the databasepage of the config wizard.
It seems i got all the settings right (see image). I created the database (with the utf8_general_ci). Filled in the right host, username and password which are localhost, root and in my case with a password.
It's a local install on Windows XP Pro. Previously i installed Apache 2.2 and MySql 5...and PHP 5.2.6 as you can see.

What is wrong? What should i check?

Thanks for any help.

Hi , Welcome to the Elxis world ...
Seems that you have a problem with MySQL database , Because the MySQL Supported Database is not in Green status ...
Are you running on a windows server hosting ?

I'm running it local on my develop machine, Windows XP Pro. I have no problems working with MySql besides this.
What can i do to fix this? Where do i need to look? What does Elxis do to decide if MySql is supported on my system?

Please use XAMPP for local server as it is the best local server for PHP, MySQL

I Solved it. As a newbie to php i didnt realize that the windows installation defaults to all extensions off, so no mysql support.
I reinstalled PHP making sure in the extensions list mysql was selected to install and then also added the mysql.dll to my system32 folder so it could be found.
After that i had to reboot since restarting just apache didnt work. Now MySql turns up green in Elxis.

the rest of the install went as expected, smooth.

Hope this helps others on windows.
