Re: [Core-lan-org-devel] newbie installation problem

Actually, having had a bit more time to think about it...

It could well be that your PHP doesn't have PostgreSQL support compiled in.  This would also give a blank screen.

To check, create a website file with this in it:

<?php
phpinfo;
?>

Save it into your webserver root directory as, say, phpinfo.php.  Then look it up with your web browser.  PHP will spew out pages and pages of configured status data onto your web browser.  Look for a subsection on 'pgsql' or 'PostgreSQL'.  If it's not present, then your PHP won't/can't make pgsql database calls.

You need then either to find a binary copy of PHP with pgsql compiled in, or re-compile from source with the pgsql option.  Alternately, the CVS, is reasonably stable, and now has support for both MySQL & PostgreSQL databases.  You are more likely to have MySQL support already compiled into your PHP.
