Greetings,

I am sure there are more posts like this but I could not find the answer in any of it.
When I install 5.1.2 everything is intalled and working properly. When I try to install version 5.2.2 as a clean install (by deleting all previous versions) I only get a blank page after makeconfig deletion.

Anyone can spare sometime helping me?

Kind regards,
Nick

Check the error logs of your webserver and PHP. It's probably returning 500 internal server errors.

You need the actual error to fix any problem.

What versions of PHP and MySQL are you using?

Are you using GoDaddy hosting?

Did you make sure to rename *both* of the config.php files and then fill out all the mysql information in the /core/includes/config.php file?

yes I did rename them. I also triple-checked usename/password server location/ port

Problem Solved

For anyone that has the same problem as me here is the solution

I had to apply in my ../forum folder php version 5.5 in order to complete it because php v 5.4 was not collaborating.

Still a newbie... oh well

Thanks anyway :)

You have to ask from your host service to upgrade your php version. My host service installed PHP selector so I can choose php version for every folder.

You should also ask them to make sure the .htaccess file in you /public_html is able to be rewritable and not overlaping with your forums .htaccess.
