I have installed and configured my site with the server using PHP4.4.4 to parse all PHP files.
Switching it to use PHP5 with .htaccess now that I need it to run certain modules results in a white screen of nothing when trying to access any Drupal pages!

Good idea... forgot to look there. Beginners eh!....

Noticed out of memory problems in logs.
Had php.ini file to assign extra memory to php.
Had brainwave to create a php5.ini file with the same config settings.
Everything works fine now.

To any other dosy beginner: This worked for me with fasthostingdirect.co.uk who I think are resellers of Heartinternet hosting space.
It may well work with other hosts who have similar setups (PHP as standard but ability to use PHP5 installed by either using php5 extension or setting pphp5 as default parser in .htaccess)

Thanks again for the heads up.

Issue closed.

I've got problems with HeartInternet as well.
You can't increase max_allowed_packet for database packets, no more memory than 128MB.
So if you are planing to make some bigger web site, change your hosting plan:
http://drupal.org/hosting

Because you will have all the time white screens and some errors.
