In my case it turned out the theme folder was missing. Once I put the theme folder and default theme in, it worked fine.

I was having the same problem and stumbled across a fix. I’m not a PHP expert, so I may not know of what I speak. But in PHP 4, you could send an email with parameter ” from: [email protected]”. It seems in PHP 5 it doesn’t like the space. You have to put the email address directly after “from:” with no space.

So the fix is as follows (for WP 1.5.1.2 on Win32 using PHP 5)
Open /includes/pluggable-functions.php and find function wp_mail (about line 61 for me). Change:

“From: ” . get_settings(‘admin_email’) . “\n” .

to

“From:” . get_settings(‘admin_email’) . “\n” .

(remove the space after From:).

I am having the same problem. I was able to install and setup WordPress fine. I can move around admin pages fine. But get blank pages when trying to view root of wordpress. View souce shows body tags, but no contents.
