Hello,

I come here to evaluate drupal CMS for my company's Intranets.

I have already make some websites with LAMP because the CMS tools are more complex and i want to learn PHP when i have start i have developped my personnal CMS in PHP.

Now i don't have the time to developpe all news functionalities appears with web2.0 and for my new company, I want to use a CMS recognized and with a greater supply of functionality as mine so that the reason for what i want to evaluate some CMS tools as eZPublish, Joomla and Drupal.

Today I wanted to test the possibilities and the offer Drupal, so I download the 6.1 release and installed on a server WAMP, I set up a table in MySQL and launched installation. Fully functioned properly (apart from a warning on a problem SMTP).

I can create content, but my problem is that when I click on the menu on the "Administer" (which launches the url? Q = admin " i received after a long time a white and empty page...

I have used the standard installation without other configuration or upload... just install and run!

But what i have doing wrong?

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

And sorry for my poor english ;-)

Thank's for the link.

I don't understand something in this document they said that you must change

"ini_set('memory_limit', '12M'); in your sites/default/settings.php file
php_value memory_limit 12M in your .htaccess file in the Drupal root"

This two files doesn't contain a definition like required but this is two files of drupal installation why it can create theirs with the good value ????

In my php.ini in fact i have the declaration :

memory_limit = 128M

So more that required by the document...

I have change the three files as explain in the document linked and restart all services of wamp but i have the same result... a nice white page!

White screen often but not always indicates that PHP is running out of memory. For 6.x you probably need more than 12M anyway ... If you run phpinfo() you should see what if any the actual limit is.

Also worth checking the webserver logs to see what the exact problem is - probably some sort of PHP problem.

phpinfo() show that the "memory_limit" is 128M

I found nothing in Apache error log, no error message, the last line is "Starting thread to listen on port 80".

In Apache access log i found the line :
127.0.0.1 - - [28/Mar/2008:10:27:33 +0100] "GET /aslm.ch/?q=admin HTTP/1.1" 200 -

And PHP error log is empty !!!

Can it be an error with the default WAMP installation ?

This week i test the drupal 6.1 install on my private computer with Ubuntu.

I wonder if the update status module is running when you visit the admin page, but the outgoing HTTP request is timing out or something? Try disabling it at admin/build/modules. Also see http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/update.

Great, thank you it's working now...

I received the alert as the update status notification was disabled but it's work.

Thank you very much for your help...

Is it a bug ? and the developper's team know it to correct it for the futur release ?

>Is it a bug ?
May be worth searching the Drupal issues queue http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal ... I have a feeling I've seen something about this problem before. If not then open a new issue.

Update: see http://drupal.org/node/243253.
