Hi,

When I go into the admin/modules page on my site I keep getting the WSOD! Has anyone come across this before? I have googled the problem and it appears to be a memory issue. I have tried deleting off some modules and also tried increasing the memory in the settings.php file. Does anyone have any other suggestions on how I coule resolve this?

thks,
nolan.

The usual thing to after seeing a WSOD is to look at the web server error log. Then you can decided what to do.

Sometimes you also need to

Sometimes you also need to up the memory limit in your httpd.conf and/or your site's .htaccess file. As noted above, examining what the error actually is should get this solved a lot quicker than doing it in the dark.

Edit your index.php file by

Edit your index.php file by adding the following 2 lines (ignoring the php tags):

<?php
ini_set
("display_errors","2");
error_reporting(E_ALL);
?>

Put these just before:

<?php
require_once './includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
?>

This will show the error that is being generator.

If you aren't on a shared service, you can edit the memory and timeout settings in the php.ini file, then restart Apache.

Hi,

Ive tried adding the two lines of code and the following message came back.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function phpini_set() in /home/nolz00/public_html/koru/index.php on line 15.

Is there something else I need to do?

Unfortunately im on a shared server so cant edit the php.ini file.


sorry ive just realised it should be ini_set and not phpini_set! That said it still brings back a blank page.

ini_set()

ah, well if you can't get access to the info you need, the most basic way is go into the system table in your database and manually switch off modules to see what's making it white page. there's a field called status, 0 is disabled, 1 is enabled. You can of course use this to enable the devel module or anything else which may help

.....thanks for the info. I recently installed the Panels module 6.0 beta 2 and it appears that this is causing the problem. Once I update the status of this module in the system table from 1 to 0 then the module page reappears.

could it be that because this is still in beta stage that it is a bug?

however, ive still been able to use the panels module without any further problems so far.

Panels

Ah, Panels.... welcome to our world ;)

Panels has been in alpha/beta for ages now, depending on your use you may have to use different releases. I've one site which only works on one release of it.

I would suggest looking through the panels issue queue and posting over there if no luck finding your particular prob:

So you modules list page is still getting a WSOD? If so then I wouldn't of thought it was a timing out issue or a memory issue.

Are there any custom scripts or possible third party modules that have an exit statement?

I changed php.ini

I changed my php.ini file and got it working. I'm running Drupal on WampServer. I clicked on the WampServer icon in the system tray, moused over 'PHP', and clicked on 'php.ini'. Search for 'max_execution_time' and change it from 'max_execution_time = 30' to 'max_execution_time = 60'. That's what worked for me.
