I was messing with the theme page.tpl and style sheet.. it gave me a white screen- so I restored it back to normal settings. Drupal loaded.. then upon logging in, I got the white screen!

I tried refreshing and it still gives me a blank screen, with "done" loaded on the bottom.. I tried to look at the source code and there's nothing there!

I checked out the other threads and it mentioned increasing the memory, mine is set at 16 already.

Any other suggestions?
I hope I don't need to start from scratch again! I just installed it yesterday and have been playing with the code for 14 hours straight! It's too fun!

Look for extra white space or lines before the opening tag <?php ... or after the corresponding closing tag ?>. Look in your .tpl.php files or the module code you might have edited.

I went into Administer › Site configuration>Performance turned on "Normal (recommended, no side effects)" ang got the The White Screen of Death can not get to any of my site. Does any body know where in the database I can turn it off? Looked everywhere and there is no fix to this problem that I can find all I want to do is turn it off.

***UPDATE***
Went through a data base dump found the the way to turn it off temp fix.

How did you turn performance off, what was your temp fix?

His description sounds exactly what happened to me (turned caching mode to "normal", all pages were WSOD after that).

To fix this, I renamed my theme's entire directory to something else completely, refreshed the "preformance" page (it will load with no theme applied), and hit clear cache. The page looked normal after that. I then moved the theme directory back and repeated the above.

Thank you for the tip! That fixed my WSOD.
