Blank screen after install (5.4 RC, 5.3.3.1 ...) HELP!
Permalink
I am SO FRUSTRATED with this client server I am supposed to install to. After finally getting the host to extend the FastCGI timeout time and resolve some other issues, I FINALLY can install Concrete 5.3.2, but not 5.3.3 ... or 5.3.4 ... or 5.4.
I have add-ons I need to install that at least require 5.3, but ideally 5.4, so I really need to work through this.
However, no matter what I've tried, I CANNOT get it to upgrade, or do a fresh install. When I do a fresh install of any of these versions, I get a blank screen at the end. If I try to upgrade, it eventually complains about some MySQL table that doesn't exist, or a duplicate primary key, or SOMETHING. No matter what I try there's always a problem.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing all of this? I just need to get Concrete installed ...

Thank you!

Here's what was going on:
1. The server was configured to hide errors. Turning them on made it a lot easier to figure out what was wrong.
2. FastCGI had a timeout of 30 seconds. This needed to be increased so that it wouldn't kill PHP when it was busy installing or upgrading.
3. PHP had a low timeout, which had to be increased. Same issue
4. PHP/MySQL might have been out of date. Not sure if this was the issue.
5. To circumvent the last round of problems, I installed Concrete on a working server, exported the database, then moved it over to the problem server, making changes in /config/site.php to allow for the new server address.
