Blank PHP Page

I'm very much a newbie to PHP. I just installed the blogging tool
wordpress on by copying the directory into my Redhat 9 www folder.
I've set the correct database name, username and password but all that
I have from index.php is a blank page.

Any ideas on what I should do to fix this?

Thanks,
Crispin

Do you get anything if you use a print statement in a blank PHP file?
try a blank file called test.php and just have in it <? print "test";
?> and see if PHP is being returned at all
