Well, I've done all what the instruction says, but when I go to my homepage, I get only a blank page.
That's sad. XD
Well, here I leave my help cry, if ya need more info, tell me.
(P.S: Maybe I need to CHMOD something, but I don't know what is it, the instructions don't include it.)

you shouldnt have to chmod
you shouldnt have to chmod anything, however. you havent given us much to go on with what you have done.
please step by step explain what you have done to install drupal.
Yessir, and that is what I will do.
Well, I started by unzipping/un'tar'ing the content and uploading it to the server, then, I edited the content from there with my FTP Client(SmartFTP)
Where it included info on where to put $db_url, it was too confusing. As the config file was messy and there was more than one $db_url tags.
So, I replaced all $db_url with my login, hostname and database info.
After that, I went to phpMyAdmin, and inserted database.4.1.mysql into drupalcms table.
I think that was all.
a few possibilities
first off, the database username may not be the same as your login name.
However, if you're getting a blank screen (rather than "cannot connnect to database" screen) you should probably be sure that you can access index.php. Do you have an index.html, index.html, or default.htm file in your root directory? those might take precedence over your index.php and should be removed/renamed. If your host uses the apache web server (most all do), are you sure that you replaced the .htaccess file on the host with the one from the Drupal installation?

i highly suggest using a new
i highly suggest using a new settings.php and only changing the line#87 as this is the only line with the $db_url not commented out. having an editor that shows colored php text allows for easier reading as commented out code is orange which typically is used to display instructions within the file that wont be treated as code, it will be ignored when it is parsed.
the information needed in this file are db username, password, and db hostname, db name

See this video for step by step directions.
Good.
Odds are that phpMyAdmin does not allow me to set user privileges.
...Well?
Issue not resolved. >_>
For real.
A hint.
I got a subdomain instead of a domain, is this ok or is this the main problem?
