Another install.php?page=2 blank

After a lot of fiddling I don't know what to do next to install this...
I'm trying to install this on my VPS. So I've done this:

- wget the Indexhibit CMS v0.70e .zip and extracted it
- chmod 777 on files and gimg and config
- created 'indexhibit' database with mysql, created 'indexhibit' user in mysql
- granted all on 'indexhibit' to user 'indexhibit' from 'localhost'
- with web browser went to install.php, filled in language
- filled in database, username, password
- clicked submit

Only a blank screen.

So I set php.ini to report E_ALL, no errors are shown.
I've tested through mysql command line: CREATE TABLE on the database, using the user I created. This results in a table in database 'indexhibit'. So that seems okay.
There are no errors (other than no favicon) in the apache error log..
The thing I did notice was that the config.php is not created after I press 'submit'. So I've tried copying the config.sample.php to config.php and changing the values to the right ones. This doesn't change anyting either. Same install, same blank screen.

I really do not know what I am missing here. Something simple I suppose but I can't seem to find out what it is..

What is your site?

Oh, yeah, it's davidsmit.nl.

Okay, turns out it was a stupid, simple failure:
missing the php5-mysql package and therefore no mysql module loaded in php5.

I thought it would be something like this so I installed another php+mysql package and tried that. It gave me an error: "Cannot load mysql extension. Check your php configuration".

So, solved. Thanks!
