Hello,

I am just learning how to use Drupal and I have run into a big problem. In case it is important I am developing a site locally using MAMP and Drupal 6.10. I added the Views Module to the module folder. Then I selected the three check boxes to enable the Views module. However after I hit save, the entire contents of the List Modules Page disappears. It will not reappear after I refresh. The only way I am able to get the list of modules back is by removing the Views Module folder from the modules folder. However, when i put the Views folder back in place the contents of the List Modules page once again vanishes. The entire page is white.

This is very frustrating. It would be greatly appreciated to me if someone could tell me how I can fix this problem.

Thanks

you want to search the drupal site for 'white screen of death' to find different scenarios that may match yours.

this can be caused by long running queries that exceed the max duration in your sql config.

you can toggle modules on and off directly via sql in the system table status field. this way you don't have to delete the folder to get the app back.

the admin menu is a known cause of this issue in drupal 6. i have had to disable that module.

i was using the admin menu. i'll remove it and try again. the white screen of death would appear after I enabled any random module. I was going crazy.

good tip about toggling modules using sql. that will be helpful. thanks again.
