Cannot reproduce on a fresh Drupal 5 site. Check your webserver's error log to see if you see any PHP errors there; that would help.

Checked logs - no problems - but appears its related to clean urls / .htaccess

This works
http://www.somedomain.com/?q=admin/build/workflow

This did not
http://www.somedomain.com/admin/build/workflow

Strange ... same is happening only to watchdog - no other

Doesn't work
http://www.somedomain.com/admin/logs/watchdog

Does Work

=============
Have not discovered where the issue may be

Do you have clean URLs enabled and working for your site?

Yes I have clean URL's enabled, but I have turned them off so I can get to workflow.

Try clearing your menu cache.

Nope .. that didn't do it. In fact, I duplicated it on another site with same modules. Trying to figure out cause. We are using Clean URL's and Gallery 2 with URL rewrite enabled.

Again odd thing is it also only effects the admin/logs/watchdog. No other other logs effected (or anything else)

I have the same or similar problem with several modules: Workflow, eCommerce, and Ubercart.
I can't return to the admin section and all I get is a blank screen. I can delete the workflow module folder and my admin screen returns, but of course Drupal still thinks it should be there.
I'm not sure what specificaly is causing this error.

Most of my errors seem to be related to a log entry of:
Error parsing modules/outline/outline.info

I'm thinking this is related to the extra version line in the .info file that was removed in 5.x-1.2. Us developers don't usually find packaging related bugs because we use the CVS checkout instead of the packaged version. dww went through and removed the extra version line from many projects including the outline and ecommerce cart modules.

I had second thoughts about waving the magic wand of fixed on this, so I got a fresh 5.5 install with Workflow 1.0 from a tarball and wasn't able to reproduce a WSOD with or without clean URLs on any workflow pages. Maybe its conflicting with another module somehow. I think the big question at this point is whether the problem is resolved with any of the new releases.

Hi,

With the release of Drupal 7, Drupal 5 is no longer receiving security updates, reviews, or development from many contributed modules. Since 5 is now considered a depreciated version, you really should seriously look into upgrading to Drupal 6 or 7. The newer versions of Drupal work better, have more support, and will be safer (literally! security patches!) for your website. We are currently working on a new release for Workflow to Drupal 7. In light of that, further support for Drupal 5 issues is infeasible at the moment. Please consider upgrading to Drupal 6 or 7 in the near future - you'll be glad you did.

- Bastlynn

Based on the behavior in the last 2 years - I'm thinking it's been resolved.
