I loaded php5 and mysql 4.1.10 on my machine using apache as the webserver. I set my database through navicat, built my tables through phpmyadmin, all of these apps work beautifully.

but after I do the install for phpbb2, which returns completed with no errors, I have nothing.

i.e. http://localhost/index.php which would normally be the portal page on phpBB2 1.52+ is a big white blank.

Any suggestions or ideas on the cause or possible fix?

edit :: These files are loaded into the htdocs folder and as far as I can tell, I've set the permissions according to the install file but I'm not 100% certain on them.
