I'm building a site on my local machine using MAMP. The site has gone together beautifully up to now. I added Views and Event to my Drupal Modules folder and went to my administer page to activate the modules. For some reason when I clicked on "Save Configuration" the whole screen went blank.. I mean nothing! I checked the source code and it was blank too! I think I killed it.
After fiddling around a little I found the site works fine if I remove the modules but as soon as I put the module back in the 'modules' folder the site "breaks".. now the strange thing is this, only the "Administer" and "Modules" links break the site. I can have the modules installed on the server and still be able to work with the other links but not "Administer" and "Modules".
What do I do?!
Thanks

I had this problem with a Wamp install on Drupal 6, trying to use the administer menu resulted in a blank page after enabling modules and clicking on the save button. I removed the folders for the modules so I could access the administration menu, then ran CRON manually and put the modules back in the relevant folders. Access to the administration menu was restored and all the modules where enabled. Running CRON was a lucky guess but hopefully this will help some else out, I wasn't looking forward to re-building my site :(.
It seems every time I add a new module now I lose the administration pages, going to mysite/cron.php brings it back!

This is likely a PHP memory limit issue. Drupal's admin and especially modules sections are very memory intensive sometimes causing my 64Mbyte limit to hit the roof from time to time and I have relatively few mainstream modules running.
