admin -> modules -> blank screen
Drupal installation 4.7.4
After uploading the "user status" module 4.7.x-1.1 (2007-Jan-15) and attempting to display the installed modules I got a blank screen. I removed the "user status" module directory and the blank screen persists. I am unable to access any modules via admin.
I did not have a previous version of "user status" installed, so it is not an upgrade problem.
drupal/admin/modules no longer works. I need a way to get back access to the modules screen.
I assume the problem was initiated by "user status" module but I have no way to prove it. The last time I used admin/modules, it worked perfectly 1/12/2007.
When I view the page source for the blank screen, there is no markup, just another blank screen.
I can't activate Trace without admin/module, Catch-22.
All other admin functions are working. I have no other bizarre behavior from this Drupal installation (4.7.4).
I need to know how to debug this problem.
Thanks for your help

Watch dog table: no records associated with the "user status" module installation.

dwwuser_status.module works fine on a number of test sites. it's small, simple, doesn't touch the database, etc. the fact that you removed it completely from your site and you're still having problems shouts out to me that there's nothing wrong with that module.
see http://drupal.org/node/31819

jwalling commentedQuestion
To investigate the memory limit theory, how can I disable modules without removing the folders and files? Is there a database table I can use to disable modules? I looked, but I couldn't find any table that referenced module status.
Thanks,

jwalling commentedI removed the taxonomy_browser module and the blank screen problem stopped. Now I have to figure out why it happened.

teamlazlo commentedI am having the same problem. Except when I add Panels. When I got to http://clickmovement.org/admin/build/modules I simply see a blank page. When I delete the panels folder it comes back.
