Make certain your file permissions and ownership are set correctly.
Are you using FTP to upload the drupal files, or are you getting them 
from shell? If FTP, are you uploading in ASCII or binary? Also if you 
are using FTP, try creating the phpinfo file locally and using the same 
method to upload it; then see if the phpinfo file works. Is "<?php" on 
the first line of install.php, or is there content or blank space above it?
