I also am having this issue with a newly downloaded version of WP. I do have error reporting on in the php.ini file and apache is simply telling me that there is an internal server error (error 500). However if i remove the wp-config.php file i get the normal php errors that its supposed to kick out. If i add the wp-config.php file back with anything as the var values (even the correct values) the pages go completely blank. I’ve restarted apache and mysql server but still get blank pages.
I’m running php version 5.1.4 and mysql version 5.0.18-standard
any help would be appreciated!
