Whenever I try to do a currency conversion I get a blank page. I remember it worked once and after that it stopped working. I've verified permissions etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've uninstalled, downloaded a new copy and reinstalled the currency module and I still get blank screen when I try to do a conversion.
The screen literally goes white, no theme, no nothing just a blank white screen.

I am suspecting that your host does not support PHP opening connections to other servers, which this module requires to work.

Check the Drupal logs under admin, and see if there are errors.

Also check if there are errors in Apache's error log.

Actually I am the host and I certainly have no problems grabbing data from other sites as I am using a Stock Chart and Quote module which both rely on Finance.yahoo.com for the data.

There are no errors in the Drupal log and my apache logs are clean.

I am certainly happy to provide as much detail as you need. If you need specifics just ask and I will let you know.

Thanks

Nothing new on this problem? I would really like to get this module working.

If you are getting white screens, there's an error somewhere. Check your apache error log.

I just downloaded the tarball and installed it on a Drupal 5.2.

Works perfectly.

Must be something with your setup. Check the logs, both Drupal and Apache.

Nothing else we can do if it works for us.

I second that. I just performed a clean 5.3 install w/Currency Exchange as the first and only third-party enabled module. Works perfectly out of the post with default configuration and permissions.

Have you checked if you have curl module installed and enabled in php? That was the culprit in my case

I have also tried this module and was getting the white screen before configuring curl. I found this article to be very useful in setting up curl in a Linux environment. The module worked fine after I followed those steps.

I changed how the module works so it has more chance on more hosts. Not all hosts have curl enabled, and that is why the blank page.

Wait for 24 hours from the time of this message, then try the 5.x-1.x-dev tarball.
