Fresh 2.54 is blank on install page

[Webmerized54]

I have un zipped a new Joomla 2.54 quickstart, but all i get is a blank screen. It is on a Sub folder and Im using Godaddys new 4g grid hosting. I have messed with permissions and the htaccess files with no success. Any help would be appreciated. THX!!!

ok, so here is what I did to work around it. I disabled the php.ini file by renaming it, changed the htacccess permisions. After i installed it, I renamed the php.ini back to the original name.

Why are you using an out of date version for the installation?
I assume you are referring to a local php.ini and .htaccess files that were already installed in the root / directory of your server.

Please run the Forum Post Assistant to provide the information to help us try and resolve the issue.
Please follow the instructions in the post and the program pack closely. Your intimation of "playing with file permissions" rings alarm bells.

Sorry, it was actually 2.56

Sorry, it was actually 2.56

That's not a problem it would be good to find out what the original cause of this issue is. Could you therefore respond to my previous queries if you are interested in possibly helping yourself for the future and potentially other users in the same position.
In the meantime marked as resolved as you have a solution if not the causation identified for your circumstance.
Thanks
