Getting blank pages with new install
I installed PHP 5 on Windows Vista. PHP seems to work fine. I then wanted to use mysql. 5 So I downloaded the extensions. The mysql instructions mentioned I need to change some settings in php.ini. PHP never would recognize the mysql connect() function. I then viewed phpinfo() and it said the configuration file was in c:\Windows. That's incorrect because such a file doesn't exist there. I then added php.ini to the Windows folder. Now I get only blank pages when accessing php files. phpinfo() doesn't even print anymore.
Any suggestions on what is wrong?
Thanks.

If I take out all of the database code, phpinfo displays. How can I tell if this is connecting or not? Thanks.

Thanks. It seems to render fine after do what you said. I had already done that a number of times and it never worked.

I then turned on Display Errors. I get this now:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Host 'VistaDev.gateway.2wire.net' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server in E:\Dev\www\temp\phptest.php on line 10
Could not connect: Host 'VistaDev.gateway.2wire.net' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
VistaDev is the name of the box with mssql server on it. 2wire is the dsl modem/router I'm using. I have an ethernet cable running between two PCs. I'm on an XP machine and connecting to a Vista machine, where the mssql server is. It shouldn't involve the router. When I have anything going between the two PCs, it always goes across the wire. I get the same error even if I'm on the Vista box. Do you know why it is doing this?
Thanks.
