When I install a new module, even one from core, I get an internal server error. When I refresh the confirm page the module is flagged as installed but the admin page for that module is nowhere to be found. The same thing happens when I try to disable the module.

It's a new install, not in production yet and I've been able to get quite a few modules installed and running well. Could there be a problem with a contributed module that recurs every time I try an install? If I try to disable modules until the problem goes away in an attempt to find the culprit I'm concerned that I may not be able to enable them again. I could reinstall the whole thing I guess.

In the log pages I get a message that the module had been enabled or disabled, is there anywhere else I could look for the logs? I'm on a shared host.

Thanks in advance

Check the server logs (apache and PHP). And tell us what the actual error is next time it happens - the more info, the more likely someone will know what it means.

After a few issues setting up the error logs, shared hosting can offer some challenges, it turned out to be a memory issue. Increased the php memory limit to 128M.
