I'm on freebsd 6 I believe, got mysql 4.1 and apache 2. Changed the permissions as per the instruction manual on the st directory. The mysql information is definately correct because I can connect to it using those credentials (which are root).
After I put these settings and get redirected to setup.php, nothing happens. Just a blank screen. I am positive all of the settings I entered are right. Any ideas?
