Blank screen when trying to upgrade

[eXaulz]

When I try to visit my upgrade.php (in instal/), I get a blank page. I've uploaded all of the 3.6b2 files, replacing all of the old 3.6b1 files. What did I do wrong?

The white pages are due to one of these causes:

1. You did not upload the vB files correctly. Reupload the vB non-image files and make sure you upload these in ASCII format and that you overwrite the ones on the server. Make sure you upload the Admin CP files to the admincp directory specified in your config.php file.

2. You do not have a config.php file in your includes directory. You need to copy config.php.new to config.php, then edit this file with the correct database info.

3. You have extra space or lines in your config.php file. Make sure there is no whitespace or extra lines in config.php either before the <?php or after the ?>.

4. Your PHP has magic_quotes_sybase turned on. You have to run this off. On *nix systems you can do this by creating an .htaccess file with this content and placing it in your main forum directory:

php_flag magic_quotes_sybase 0

5. Your PHP is not compiled with XML support.

6. Your PHP is not compiled with MySQL support.
