After installing Drupal 7 I first encountered a problem with adding content. Only part of it was appearing, and there was no way to edit content. After experimenting with several themes (now on Danland) I get the WSOD whenever I try to add any content. I have tried many of the suggestions in this thread and so far no joy. Site is http://nullifynow.net

This has also been reported at http://drupal.org/node/158043#comment-4193752

Did a block functionality test and got fatal error:

The test did not complete due to a fatal error. Completion check block.test 46 BlockTestCase->testCustomBlock()

Also got:

Use the Clean environment button to clean-up temporary files and tables.

Next a test on Update Core Functionality.

Got the error:

The test did not complete due to a fatal error. Completion check update.test 85 UpdateCoreTestCase->testNormalUpdateAvailable()

I can post the complete error messages if that would be helpful.

What server specs are you running on? WSOD can appear if you are running on a box with too low specs.

So, please provide more information about your environment. I can't reproduce this error in my dev environment.

The site is on the warwick server at dreamhost.com, which has about the highest specs one can get short of a supercomputer.

We have other Drupal sites hosted there as well: two Drupal 5 sites and one Drupal 6 site, as weil this Drupal 7 site. No problems with those others.

I should point out that before we got the WSOD we were having trouble editing a newly created page. After creating a basic page, we found that only the first paragraph appeared, and there was no option for editing the entire page. I finally tried deleting it and recreating it from scratch a few times. Same result each time. I don't have that problem with Drupal 6. It should be possible to create a page and have a button or link to edit it as often as one might wish. None is apparent.

To emphasize the last point, whenever one opens any page when logged in as admin, there should be a prominent button that appears with EDIT THIS PAGE. It should be right before DELETE THIS PAGE. That should appear for anything that has been added. Anything. Other CMSs do it. Drupal 6 does it (although not as prominently as I would like).

Can you enable PHP error logging of some kind, either to the screen or to a log file so that instead of getting just a WSOD you can get a meaningful error message?

Given that lots of people are using Drupal 7 just fine, I'm going to mark this issue as a support request, with a lower priority, when you can provide clarification on the error, and if indeed it is a bug, then mark it back as one.

My hosting provider controls PHP, so I don't know of a way to enable error logging on it.

I am willing to open my system (briefly) if someone can provide some support. Hopefully it will be something simple, but I suspect it may be something others will encounter, as I didn't do anything unusual.

Seems like you might be able to enable more error logging with Dreamhost: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/PHP.ini
Do they have a support channel that you can ask about enabling the logging? We can help with diagnosing the error once you know what it is.
