Hi, this serious problem has happened to me with several modules.
image module
user protect module
i don't remember the others.
these are good, respected modules
I go do admin page
i enable the module
I get the server error.
However, the module appears to be correctly installed.
every page works correctly except I cannot access the admin modules page
I get the server error
If I remove the new module from the modules directory then everything is back to normal
I am on php 5
Any ideas about what's going on would be much appreciated.

Unless I'm overlooking it,
Unless I'm overlooking it, I'm not seeing *what* caused the problem, only that there was a problem.
It could be anything... WSOD, .htaccess problems, server dis-allowing the execution of specific functions, etc.
What host are you with? Is there any more info about the cause of the error?
thank you. WSOD solved it
Coreyp_1,
Thank you so much for answering my question. You are the first person who has helped me find the answer to any question.
(P.S. the "what" that caused a problem was enabling a module, but most modules were fine)
The answer was on the WSOD page. In using PHP5, I had never seen this "internal error message" before. Since I did not have a blank screen, I didn't make the connection.
It was 3 different things.
1) userprotect needed buffer output to be turned on php.ini
2) image needed magickwand
3) image needed memory increased from 20 to 32
Searching on "internal server error" tend to turn up apache and .htaccess problems, which is very far removed from my problem.
You have saved me hours and days of frustration. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Your karma is way high!
I added a page to the handbook to help people connect "internal server error" with the white screen of death.
Glad to be of service.
