I new to drupal and I'm using it on a windows platform, PHP5 and mysql 4. It seem that the installation went smoothly until I clicked on "Creat a New Account". When I tried to create a new account all I get is a white screen...no errors. Has anyone experinced this and if so, how do I fix it.

Thanks.

This often happens due to an error when your files upload with space at the bottom. Check that node.module has no white space after the closing php tag.

Thanks Jason...I looked at th file and there was no white space after the closing tag. Any other suggestions?

Go to mysite.com/admin an see what the error that it is producing is.

When I go to mysite.com/admin, I get a 404 error. Drupal doesn't seem to be pointing to the correct directory when I select "create and account"

I was able to get it to work. Originally I had drupal in a subdirectory for testing. I removed it from the subdirectory and placed it in the htdocs root and it seems to be working fine. I'm not sure why it didn't work well in the subdirectory but I'll play around with it some more.

Thanks.

Add this to the top of your index.php file (after the php open tag):

#ini_set("display_errors", 0);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Then you'll see the errors instead of the white space.

Personally, I'd recommend this be on in Drupal by default so you can install to a point where you are ready to launch and can then turn off the display errors.
