Hint: Blank Typo3 installation screen
If you experience a blank installation screen while trying to setup Typo3, take a look at your mysql database time out setting in your php.ini file:

Ext: tt_news – no translation for name of months
Typo3-Extension: tt_news – non translated month names
If you stumble across this problem, maybe you haven’t installed the right locale on your linux computer. Open a new shell and type
locale -a
This prints out all available locales. Refer to your OS manual on how to install additional locales.
Try this php script for testing locales (taken from php manual setlocale)
<?php
/* Set locale to Dutch */
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL');
/* Output: vrijdag 22 december 1978 */
echo strftime("%A %e %B %Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 22, 1978));
/* try different possible locale names for german as of PHP 4.3.0 */
$loc_de = setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE@euro', 'de_DE', 'de', 'ge');
echo "Preferred locale for german on this system is '$loc_de'";
