    I installed PHP 5.1, PEAR , PEAR DB ,MySQL 5 and Apache 2. We use Windows Server 2003.
    performed the recommended configurations and modified PEAR_PATH.
    I opened the install.php, provide details and click "test Database connection". A Pop-up window opens but it is blank. I try clicking on the submit button - again nothing happens. the config.php is blank.

    Any ideas of resolving this. Thanks in advance.

      Check your PHP Error log - see what it reports.

      I am having the same problem with phpBT 1.0.1, CentOS 4.1, httpd-2.0.52, php-4.3.9  I've tried to connect to both MySQL and PostGreSQL.

      The only way to not get a blank screen is to not specify the path to Pear in install.php, but that will result in the failed to connect to database message.

      I'm having this same problem.  Help!

      I was getting the Pear::DB failure message until I entered my pear path.  Now I'm getting the empty page when I try to access PHPBT.

      Where is the PHP Error Log?  I don't see anything useful in "/var/log/httpd/access_log" or "/var/log/httpd/error_log"

      Hi,

      I had the same problem. It was due to an incompatible path (due to a bad installation of pear db package)for PEAR_PATH in the install.php.
      I had the DB package installed in an old version of pear (another location than the system one).
      What I did :
      1)I copied the DB package to my new location
      2) Use a sample script to check that DB package was working (can be found in DB package documentation)
      3) Left unchanged line 168 in install.php : define('PEAR_PATH','');
      and then it worked.
