PHP works, but CodeIgniter doesn't?

Question

Community,
I've followed both the wiki regarding mysql installation, LAMP installation etc. Added http group and user, configured apache and php. When I run a test file with phpinfo() inside, everything works. But when I try to run my previous codeigniter project, i only get a blank screen in return and then this is what I peek into the logs:

# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2> for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "/var/log/httpd/foo_log"
# with ServerRoot set to "/etc/httpd" will be interpreted by the
# server as "/etc/httpd//var/log/httpd/foo_log".
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path. If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk. If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.
ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

After several hours trying to get my LAMP to work, I'm about to throw my brand new Asus M4A88T-I Deluxe out the window, with that cute quad core processor . Fare well, black box!
...But I thought about a little help from my friends. Any logs I've forgotten about will be supplied, if needed.
Cheers
Update - I've found out that there's nothing wrong with the server. It's something wrong with CI, thus this would make a CI-specific topic. Please delete the topic.
Update 2 and solved - A fresh installation of PHP has the mysql module commented out. Uncomment it in php.ini - and it works Cheers!

Hi chrispl:
Karsten sent you in the right direction with his post. But, perhaps this will help you as well....
