I am able to Login as admin no issues and nodes, views, blocks are all viewable (and quick) but I timeout/can't acccess any admin related pages. No issues with same file set / DB on local test server.

Any ideas?

Did you enable the update status module? if so, try to disable it manually and see if that fixes it.

It seemed to appear out of nowhere a couple weeks ago. I was unable to access my admin pages both on my live site and on my dev site. I followed your advice and manually disabled the update_status module. After that, my admin pages were accessible again. But now my update_status module is..well..disabled. And I need and use it often. I tried uninstalling it and reenabling it again. But then the problem reappeared. What could be going on? I'm currently using Drupal 5.14.

Unfortunately i don't remember exactly what about the update_status module is causing the problem. It works fine for my sites, but i've seen where others have had trouble with it timing out which seems to be causing the problem on admin pages. Try searching/googling d.o for some info (you should find the threads pretty easily), and I'll see if i can dig anything up.

Its also possible that this issue can be solved by upping the memory limit in the php.ini file. Actually , on hosts like ixwebhosting which have changed the horrid way they used to run php , there are quite a few settings that need changing in the php.ini file for drupal to run, in particular the memory limit and the mbstring settings and registar globals which is on ::raise eyebrows and sigh::
If anyone else has these issues try thee things first before messing with turning modules off.

I am having same problem on different sites hosted at ixwebhosting (drupal 5 & 6). spent hours with live and ticket center support changed all values in php.ini but nothing works

clikcing /admin link or viewing status report generates internal server error 500, I increased the memory limit but no solution yet.

Same sites on other hosting providers are working fine.
