Yesterday I said that the problem I reported at http://drupal.org/node/165126 looked solved by doing what I wrote
in the last comment to that page. I spoke too soon: things are much better now, but there is still something wrong
going on.
Namely:

  1. all the blocks in the left bar show correctly now.
  2. home page and nodes display fine

but http://digifreedom.net/admin returns a completely blank page. All the sub-pages work fine, that is if I type in the browser: http://digifreedom.net/admin/settings/performance I get that page and the left bar shows the admin menu expanded, with _working_ links to:

# Create content
# Recent posts
# My account
# Administer

    * Content management
    * Site building
    * Site configuration
   * Administration theme
    * Clean URLs
    * Date and time
    * Error reporting
    * File system
    * Image toolkit
    * Input formats
    * Localization
    * Performance
    * Search settings
    * Site information
    * Site maintenance
    * Throttle

# User management
# Logs
# Help

that is, the whole thing and each of those links gives the proper full page, I can create content.... Only http://digifreedom.net/admin/ is blank.

What is happening, and how can I fix it for good? Is this some other cache getting corrupted?

Please don't hesitate to ask for tests or more info.

Thanks,

Marco

"What happens if you clear the cache files on the client?"

I will know for sure tonight, cannot do it right now. However, just to make sure
I understand your question: you mean the cache of the browser with which I
look at the admin page, or something else? If something else, what exactly?

Thanks,
Marco

Have you checked your php memory? (http://drupal.org/node/29268) Perhaps something in the admin page takes up more memory, and this kind of problem may leave some process half-finished, causing other problems.

Five minutes before reading this I had disabled throttling (following a suggestion in a private email) and nothing had changed...

Now (with throttling disabled) I have just changed memory_limit from 8M to 12M in /etc/php.ini (this is on Centos 4), restarted apache and the admin page display properly! Re-enabling throttling seems to work. Whoopee! Thanks Rusty!
