I have successfully installed MimeDetect, and i receive no errors. However, every time i click on 'Administer' in the navigation menu (after having installed MimeDetect), i receive a white page.

Unfortunately, i'm on a shared hosting, and i cannot enable error logging via .htaccess, so i don't know excactly what the white page is caused by. However, when i uninstall MimeDetect, everything works as it should again.

Any ideas?

i wonder if this is related to #270607: 500 server error at admin/logs/status

I'm having the same issue with a clean Drupal 6.12 install. The first time I installed it I could enable it but the admin page was white. Checked my error logs and didn't have any errors. Checked the apache logs and didn't see anything there either. There is mod_security on this server but it usually throws an error when it kills the page.

Removed the module for now. I was going to try the dev version but it looked to be the same thing as the production release.

JStarcher, make sure you're your using the 1.2 release.

Yes, I'm using 1.2 and have been able to reproduce the bug on another install, same server. Not sure what's going on here, when I try to enable mimedetect it just exhausts all memory even when I set the limit to 100M. Without the module both installs are fine.

Same thing happens to me on the latest drupal installation.
It took me a whille to figure out this was causing the admin page and the admin/reports/status page to return a white page in firefox and an error in ie.

Could it be because my shared hosting is running php 4?
