Same problem for me. This is a new WP install. I enabled wp_debug in the wp-config.php file and now instead of a blank screen, I get
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function apply_filters() in C:\applications\wordpress\wp-includes\functions.php on line 1979”
Tried to manually configure the database in the wp_config file and run install.php but get a connection error because it uses my DB Host name with the MySql default port (3306). I tried adding the port in the config (mySQLServer.xxx.com:1234) but now get:
“Error while reading greeting packet. PID=3412 in C:\ISOnet\applications\casereview\wordpress\wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 1038″ MySQL server has gone away…”
phpinfo.php shows the PDO and other SQLServer driver are registered.
