Our PHP installation, version 5.2.5, was not compiled with the mysqli extensions which caused the blank page. It took me a little to trace the cause down to the failing Db.php class. A quick recompile fixed our problems and the rest installed cleanly, but do you think it would be possible/useful for Omeka to check for this in the future? Or at least print something useful if you are missing a function? </p> <p>A simple<br /> <code><br /> if (!function_exists('mysqli_connect')) {<br /> throw new Zend_Config_Exception('PHP missing required MySQL improved extensions.');<br /> }<br /> </code><br /> would have made the debugging a little easier.</p> <p>And thanks to MrDys for <a href="http://omeka.org/forums/topic/non-root-installation-rewrite-rules?replies=1">this thread</a> about the RewriteBase information. </p>
