I have a windows machine on my desk, connected to my IP (Verio), where my site is hosted on linux/apache.
First, I tried to download the ZIP version of the install script, but that does not unpack properly under my windows at least, it gives some messages about being unable to create a folder.
So, I downloaded the tar version, and used WinRAR to open and extract the files.
I created the folders as instructed, and I tested for php and mysql as directed. Neither worked smoothly, but after some discussion with support people, both are up and running.
Then, I read further down on this forum that the install.php script needed to be uploaded in binary mode, so I did that.
In addition to the install.php there was an uninstall.php file in the tar, and there were files named CREDITS, COPYING, and README and README.TXT.
I see all kinds of references in this forum to something called an archive file, which does not seem to be in my download.
Bottom line, I uploaded the install.php to the browsable directory on my site, and it greeted me with a pure white screen, apparently no reaction at all. Can you help me get past this?
