I get to the page that has a heading “ExpressionEngine Installation and Update Wizard” then when I click “Install Expression Engine” it goes to a blank page with no errors.

I am installing EE on a new VPS so I may not have configured something properly as it’s my first VPS configuration from scratch.

I have successfully installed EE before on pre built hosting environments.

Any ideas?

Website is Ozindi.com and it doesn’t matter what you enter into the settings you still get a white page…

Hello tabboy,

Did you get a chance to run the Server Wizard? Just to make sure everything is good?

Please try that and let me know.

Cheers,

I shall do that now sir thanks for the direction 😊

Ok I ran the wizard and put in all my details for the database then pressed the check my server button and I still get a blank page with a URL=> http://ozindi.com/ee_wizard/index.php?wizard=run

I’ve definitely missed something in my VPS configuration but what I don’t know..

My PHP version is PHP 5.3.3 and OS is CentOS 5.8 running Apache version 2.2.3

This is what I see in the logs

OK I have found the issue I was missing php-mysql from the VPS installation.

If you are missing this the server wizard doesn’t tell you.  I made a school boy error this seems but I have learnt alot building my own VPS 😊

Please close the call once again I have resolved the issue myself after hours of persistence lol

Hey tabboy,

Awesome, glad to hear you got things figured out.

If you need anything else, please let me know.

Cheers,
