On my installations, it's /var/log/httpd_error_log. This might be configurable via PHP's ini file, or PHP's ini_set(), or from the system's syslog.conf ... not certain. > It looks a bit like php5 is not accessing the database (mysql) or > something.

PHP is great about telling what's wrong ... if it's configured to do so. Once you have an error message, it'll be easier to know how to fix it.
