White screen when trying to update modules

When I try to upgrade a module, I get a dead white screen on the following URL:

http://(myurl)/authorize.php?batch=1&op=start&id=190

I am running 7.17. When I go to Admin -> Modules, and I run checks for available updates, I select one for updating, and I get the white screen.

Help!

I enabled the debugging in index.php, but no error output -- just white screen.

No errors in my logs.

The two modules I'm trying to update:

Any idea how I can generate output? Should I hack up the code with output to narrow it down?

I will find out the memory limit...

What is your hosting

What is your hosting environment? A WSOD should put an error in the logs somewhere. E.g. on some Linux installs with Apache2 you'll get errors in /var/log/apache2/error.log

This is similar to an issue I was having a few days ago. After disabling all my modules one by one I found jQuery Update was the problem. When I disabled it it worked fine. Maybe it's jQuery Update or another module.

Well, since this is a mystery, I'm going to try to update the modules manually. I'll report on how that goes.

Vintorg, did you make changes to your server configuration, or any other change (htaccess, settings.php...) just before the error appeared?

Mystery solved. I tracked it

Mystery solved. I tracked it down to the Beanstag module. I disabled it and everything updates fine.

Ok thank you. I haven't

Ok thank you. I haven't installed that module, but I guess I should try and find which one is causing the issue.

Disabled the Lightbox2

Disabled the Lightbox2 module, and everything is OK again.

Same prob with 7.19

Not sure what is causing this. It must be something in .htaccess or other settings such as dir permissions. Disabling modules one by one is not an option.

Read through above posts, can't seem to figure out what is wrong with my install. Anyone have an suggestions for directory permissions and ownership settings? Running on a Centos local server I configured myself and could easily have made a mistake. Suggestions welcome!

did you try to get an error to print to screen using the doc linked in the first comment?
