Lost complete site on localhost
slackjeep - April 18, 2008 - 18:05
I installed and configured Drupal on localhost. I have not uploaded to a production site yet.
As I was moving from one node to another I lost the complete site. I wasn't configuring anything, just clicking links.
When I go to http://localhost/drupal/ I get a completely blank page. No error messasges at all. I'm using Firefox 2.0.
I have no idea what I did to create this issue nor how to fix this. I hope I don't have to start over again.
Thanks
some stuff to try
Go to http://localhost/drupal/CHANGELOG.txt (presuming you didn't delete the changelog file) and see if you get anything at all.
Did you recently make any changes to your apache configuration?
Try checking the contents of your apache logs, preferably the error log. The location of these will depend upon what platform and version of apache you're using.
'White Screen of death' problems -- especially sudden ones -- are usually caused by memory exhaustion errors. drop a phpinfo file in your web root directory and run it: see what the value of memory_limit is.
Thanks for the stuff to
You're not going to believe this. But after trying all your suggestions, reading everything I could find on the subject and not understanding, I found the problem.
I had a sneaking suspicion it had something to do with the random images module. I was trying to enable it when the WSOD hit me. I figured I'd go and remove the folder from the sites folder and viola... couldn't find it. I had accidently put the random images module in the events module folder. When I tried to enable
random images, it killed my site.
At least I'm learning something!!
Thanks again for your suggestions. I learned where to find log files, phpinfo, myphpadmin and a few other documents.
