Vanilla porter results in a blank page

Hi, I'm trying to migrate an old 1.x vanilla forum to the current release.
I have done the following:
- loaded the old data into a MySQL database (on what will be the new server - running Debian Wheezy and up to date)
- put the latest exporter tool into my webroot on the new server
- visited it in my browser
- filled in the details to point to where the data lives
- pressed the "Begin Export" button
This results in a 200 response from the script but with no content at all, and no download is offered. No errors or warnings are logged in Apache.
Where should I start looking?
Thanks.

Solved: I hadn't installed php5-mysql on the new server. This causes things to fail silently.
Thanks! Filed that as a bug https://github.com/vanilla/porter/issues/53
