During installation after "Database Configuration" step, the page goes blank

[Alexander Obuhovich]

When we start installation of In-Portal using the URL http://localhost/in-portal/core/install.php the first page that appears is "Database Configuration", which is step 2 of installation. After entering the information, when we click on "Continue" button, the page goes blank. Debug mode produces no output. The installation platform is WAMP Server 2.0.

This issue has been tracked down and the problem is the code "while (($entry = $folder->read()) !== false) {" in the file modules_helper.php, which comes near line 220 (Please check couple of lines above and below). The script quits without informing when a call is made to "$folder->read()", The reason is the it is trying to enumerate the directory named "modules", which does not exist after the default installation. This may be some internal exception or something else but the issue can be easily resolved by creating the directory named "modules" in the root folder.

Task: http://tracker.in-portal.org/view.php?id=855

Ready for testing.
