As I said I am slowly moving a few of my blogs to Wordpress 2.5. I have run across a few issues and one was a blank screen when I was trying to install Wordpress. I checked the config file and all was good with that. I figured it had to be in the php.ini. That is usually where things go awry when installing for the first time.
I searched around a bit and found a solution that said log_errors had to be on.
I went to php.ini and changed log_errors = off to log_errors = on.
I then went back and deleted all the tables from my fresh install (it make it that far) and ran the installer again and that fixed my blank screen problem.
Did I mention this was a local install? All of my installs on real servers didn’t have this issues because they probably all have log_errors = on already.
