2. A blank page is usually a result of a PHP script failure. It could be a bug or a system error that's causing it.
After the phpBB screen, the installer attempts to save all the settings you've supplied by writing them to your /includes/configure.php and /admin/includes/configure.php files. If you've made them writable as instructed, this normally works just fine.
Usually a failure at this stage is a result of a permissions challenge that's been encountered. Sometimes it's a result of a disk quota/space problem as well.
The required troubleshooting step is to determine the permissions settings on your 2 configure.php files, and list their contents. They should contain settings based on the data you supplied during the setup interview. If they don't, then the server is having problems writing the changes, ending in an error.
