I just installed geeklog on my windows box and when I view the page all I see is a blank screen. Can anyone help me?

I receive a message cannot connect to DB server. But when I connect from the command line using the same username and password I can login.

Make sure you're using the correct server name (of the MySQL server). It may only accept connections under a certain name (often "localhost").
