What was done before the problem appeared?
Clean install.
What was done to try to solve the problem?
Double checked chmod settings, wiped database, re-installed.
De.scription and Message
I'm in the process of moving homes and decided to move a copy of my site from my personal server to a Linux Hosting account on GoDaddy. According to their documentation, my account has PHP5 and MySQL 5.0. My original plan was to do a clean install of Integramod and then restore my attachments and database to the hosting account.
During install I was able to get through the db configuration, but when it redirects to login.php for the initial logon, I was met with the dreaded "White Page". After trying all the steps mentioned above, I edited config.php and changed the db connector from mysqli to mysql4. This seemed to fix it, but I'm wondering if anyone has an idea why the site won't work with mysqli when MySQL 5 is installed. I had no error messages until I tried a bogus db connector string "mysql5".
