Blank screen during installation on Windows
Permalink 1 user found helpful
I just had a white screen problem during the installtion process. Since I've seen lots of such topics and no solution, here's what I had to do...
1. It's not a Concrete5 problem. Concrete5 does have a bad error handling in one place. I've reported this in the beta area. But the problem isn't causes by it.
2. It's a mysql connection problem.
3. Whenever I've used localhost to connect to my sql server, problems occured
4. Windows has IPV6 support by default. This means that localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1 and ::1 as well
a) You can either remove ::1 from system32\drivers\etc which is probably a good idea if you don't use ipv4, no matter if you run into this problem or not
b) Use an ipv4 address (127.0.0.1) instead of a hostname
I hope this helps. Not sure if those users who reported "blank screen" had the same problem or not but since most of them were using Windows it might be the case...
Do I get the windows expert batch now ;-)

since you spelled badge wrong you don't ;)
oh no (:
But I'd appreciate some feedback from people having the same problem. I've seen "white screen" too many times in this forum!

I just got my first white screen Remo. I've sent this page's link to the hosting company to see if this works...and I hope it does. I've gone gray and almost bald from this project!
I get it before install. Never had it using localhost on windows and wampserver.
I have just have the same issue,
On the install, setup page..
I am using ampps.
I had to turn on a few extentions
iconv.so
imap.so (not sure if this is needed though)
openssl.so
tokenizer.so
I am using a Mac (Not sure on windows)
