White Screen Death on Login HELP PLS

Posted by CD on January 30, 2013 at 11:40pm

Hi did a lot of content on site, now cannot access it, please help.

I have Drupal 7 and MAMP running 5.4.4 php

I did a lot of new content tonight and did a cron run before backing up my site.

When the run was running it went to a white screen.

I reset MAMP, browser, and tried to login in again.

The site works when you are logged out, but when you try to log in again it goes to white screen of death.

Is there anyway to fix this? I have increased memory on php to 128, i did this after the problem started though.

Worst case, hopefully, is that I can get all the content and views work out and reboot new install.

What are my options.

Thanks for trying to help if you read this.

UPDATE:

I just ran this php script

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);

// $Id: index.php,v 1.94 2007/12/26...

and got this error message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/mysite/sites/all/modules/admin_menu/admin_menu.inc on line 390

I'd suggest at least 256M php

I'd suggest at least 256M php memory, 512M is even better. And think about some optimization after your content/views be back online. 128M is a minimum memory amount on most Drupal installations.

Thanks, made changes but will I have problems on my sharedserver

Hi,

Thanks, I have updated my settings.php file like http://drupal.org/node/207036 suggests.

This fixed it.

However, I tried to add in the conf files in php.int 128M ...
Also in the htaccess file
but they did not work

Only after changing the settings.php did it work.

Now I have backed up my site with backup migrate am i safe to upload to my shared server online, which is justhost.com

I am not sure if I have given my website more php memory ie 128M if my shared server at justhost.com will work?

Please let me know as I have concerns about updating my live website.

Thanks for quick reply btw!

you should never just update a live site without testing first-- you should create a test site on that host to see if you'll have problems. If you can't do that, then you're probably better off asking your host about their memory limits.

Most shared hosting is problematic-- you get what you pay for really.

re: justhost. Things are vary

re: justhost. Things are vary from host to host and even within same host, so you don't know until you try. But it would be wise to back up everything, especially both local and server databases.
