Installing Joomla on Verio VPS - Blank Page

So it has been a while since I did a Joomla install on my new server because I took a break from doing web stuff for a while. However, I came back and decided to put the new Joomla on another one of my sites. As always, I ran into a couple of errors during the install.

I was getting a combination of blank pages and also the bad xml response error. After trying a couple of installs I noticed that my problem was coming from the configuration.php file. What solved not only the Install Sample Data problem and a few blank page problems I was having (I would be about to hit the "Finish" page and then I would get a blank page instead of the finish page), was deleting the configuration file and doing the entire install, then copying the configuration.php code that they give you on the final step and creating the file.

That worked very well and I successfully went through a full install with no MySQL or blank page errors.

Hope that helps - remember to vote on the side bar here if one of my posts has helped you!
