You're not going to believe this. I just cleared my browser's cache, and the install script ran. My site is up and running.
For what it's worth, here is a list of changes of note that I made along the way:
In httpd.conf: AddType text/html .shtml .php AllowOverrides All
In /etc/my.cnf: sql-mode="MYSQL40"
file pernissions were set to some funky number (like 27443, or something). I changed them all to an actual user name.
Thanks to everyone for their help!!!
Sincerely, Ron Siven

Let's find out if you can connect to the database using php. Make a new page and put only the following in it:
<?php /* Connecting, selecting database */ $link = mysql_connect("mysql_host", "mysql_user", "mysql_password") or die("Could not connect : " . mysql_error()); echo "Connected successfully"; mysql_select_db("my_database") or die("Could not select database"); /* Performing SQL query */ $query = "SELECT * FROM my_table"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed : " . mysql_error()); /* Printing results in HTML */ echo "<table>\n"; while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { echo "\t<tr>\n"; foreach ($line as $col_value) { echo "\t\t<td>$col_value</td>\n"; } echo "\t</tr>\n"; } echo "</table>\n"; /* Free resultset */ mysql_free_result($result); /* Closing connection */ mysql_close($link); ?>

Does Fedora Core 6 install php-extensions when you install, MySQL 5.0, PHP 5.1.6 and Apache 2.2.3? On the "php info" page look to see if the php-extensions are installed.
I use FreeBsd and "extensions" is a separate port for me.

- AddType test/html .shtml phpThis probably should be both text/html as well as .php (missing the
.).
Though, what I have is actually (YMMV) :
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
Find your server's error logs and look to see if you're getting a PHP
error.
An example of what you MIGHT see (but probably not for this file):
[Thu Feb 1 12:33:14 2007] [error] PHP Fatal error: ...
If you see this, what is the error? Memory related? Syntax error?
If that doesn't turn up anything, see if you can an error output to
the
browser.
Add this to the top of the install.php, after the <?php
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
then reload the page. What do you get?

Thanks, Simon.
I went through all of the files, and even went so far as to open up
all
permissions (777) on all files with no luck. I also found something
about
MySQL 5 and sql mode setting it to MYSQL40, restart MySQL server,
and
recreate database. No luck.
I am running drupal on my local server running Fedora Core 6. So,
no
FTP.
phpinfo() works fine.
Install script: first line is <?php
To recap some other information that may have dropped off the
original
post: Drupal 5.1 MySQL 5.0 PHP 5.1.6 Apache 2.2.3
I followed the instructions :
change httpd.conf: - DocumentIndex index.php index.html - AddType test/html .shtml php
create an empty database,
set browser to the base URL
All I get is a blank page. If I go to
http://www.mydomain.com/install.php,
Firefox tries to download it. If I let it download, it is just an empty file.
Thanks to everyone for their help so far.

Yes, I believe it is.
PHP Extension => 20050922
For anyone that's interested, here is the php info from my server.
Remember,
this is a fresh install right from the Fedora rpms. I have not changed anything...well not much.
