How do I find what causes a blank white screen in WordPress?

Am trying to build a test environment for a WordPress project using xamp.

Apache is listening on localhost:8080 MySQL is 3306 root with no password

Changes did in wp-config Dbname is wp-db Dbhost is locallhost:8080 Dbuser is root

WordPress root folder is in c:/xamp/htdocs/wordpress

Before changing the dbhost from local host to localhost:8080 I was getting a “error establishing connection to database” now am jus getting a full white screen.

Please advise. A million thanks in advance.
