PHP/MySQL Errors

[BrandMan211]

Hello, I seem to be having problems with a server I co-administrate. I install mySQL operated software such as Content Management systems, Forums, etc. and they seem to install correctly. But soon after I check the index page of my mySQL operated scripts, it shows a blank page with nothing to show. I fear this a mySQL server error or a PHP error. I've asked for help on many Linux support forums, and they have had no answer for this type of question.

Please respond as humanly as possible. Thanks!

it sounds like the php script is exiting before printing anything. to verify, you should inspect php.ini / script override settings to see how you are handling errors. some configuartions will print them out, some will write them to the apache error log, some will not display them at all. check out the lines that say "error" in them in php.ini, and reference the php manual to understand what the term does. once you figure out where errors are going, you should see the reason the script is puking.

if you execute the php script from the command line, what happens?

for example:

php /home/user/www/path/to/script.php
