Database white screen in setup [CentOS 7]

I have the same issue: after providing the database parameters in the /setup/configure_database page, I see a blank page.

I changed the dbdriver to

$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';

in application/config/database.php as suggested in this post, but that doesn’t change anything.

I’m running InvoicePlane 1.3.3 on FreeBSD 10.1 (amd64) with nginx-1.8.0, MySQL 5.6.24 and PHP 5.6.8 (through PHP-FPM).

Here’s the debug log of the installation:
