I figured I should use the existing thread instead of creating a new one. I too encountered this error. I wasn't getting any errors, just a blank screen. I isolated it down the my database.php config file. The issue was with the collation and char_set options.
The defaults didn't work.
Code:
$db['default']['char_set'] = 'utf8';
$db['default']['dbcollat'] = 'utf8_general_ci';
I had to change mine to the following.
Code:
$db['default']['char_set'] = 'latin1';
$db['default']['dbcollat'] = 'latin1_general_ci';
For reference I am using LiteSpeed SE 4.0.20 (downloaded from their site), PHP 5.3.6 (compiled from LiteSpeed GUI), and MySQL Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.41, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.1 (Ubuntu 10.04 repository.) Not sure how to actually fix the issue or where it even is, but changing the char set and collation worked around the issue.
