[Solved]: 2nd screen of Install just gives Coppermine Banner

[vancouverpc]

     

Fedora Core 2, all up2date

Coppermine 1.3.0

I have made all files and folders 777

I have quadruple checked the db in webmin.

1st screen of install.php asks me for username, password, db name, user, password, table name thing, and location of convert.  

I fill all that in, hit "Let's Go", and the next screen is just a blank page with Coppermine banner at the top (images/logo.gif).  No error message, no nothing.  Just that banner.

screenshot of 2nd screen attached.

thanks in advance for your time,

Have a look at these 2 threads, and see if that helps;

Patient reading of forum posts pays off.

All I had to do to fix it was:

'"yum install php-mysql" followed by an apache restart '

which I found in this exact post:

Thanks DeadKenny, GauGau, and all other contributors.

thanks for resolving your issue, not all users asking for support do that (alas).

( I didn't want to start a new thread because I figured this issue was in some way related ).

I have a similar issue to this, infact its exactly the same, blank pages on everything except some of the installation screen. I've looked at all the instances and tried the various fixes for blankpages on the forum I'm still having the problem.

I recently upgraded my debian box from PHP 4.3.7 to 4.3.8 ( from the dotdeb.org backports repository ) and things just haven't been the same.
Most of www.raromachine.com works ( it all it's aged and horribly coded glory ) but www.raromachine.com/album is pretty much dead.
I know I've got mysql installed, that the usernames and so forth are correct as I've interogated it with phpmyadmin and other bespoke tools I've hacked up.
I've even gone so far as to remove and clean out the php4-* packages and mysql, followed by a reboot and reinstall - same issue; blank pages for Africa.
It seems other things are affected too - like Wordpress.
It's starting to bug me a bit as I can usually find something in a log somewhere or turn on some really verbose debugging to find out where it falls over.

Has anyone else had issues with PHP4.3.8 - or will I be recompiling from source? :\
Any help much appreciated!

your install hasn't been run successfully - we I go to http://www.raromachine.com/album/install.php , I can see the install screen. After a successfull install (if coppermine can write the database configuration file and the install locl file to  the include directory, the installer get's locked. Make sure the script has write permissions to the include folder when running the install file.

You're probably right - too much copying fresh versions over the top of installed versions in that case.
The fix for the dot deb packages with the purging and reinstallation - as per the link above seems to make mysql install properly - meaning Coppermine can find it.
So fixed for now... just need to turn debug mode off now

Cheers!
