I remember having had the same problem while setting up my Oracle env. 
(before actually configuring it). It was tricky enough to fix issues and 
understanding the different reasons a blank page may occur not to loose 
time with such basic misconfiguration which btw was not as I did not 
need mysql at all...

Thanks for the patch. I'm +1 by reading and having made sure (by 
double-checking) that it works with DBAL in place.

+1 by reading.
