When I enable the delegator module, my modules page (admin/build/modules) stops functioning. I get php out of memory errors. If I increase the memory_limit, I get timeout errors. It only happens on the modules page and not on other pages. If I disable the delegator module, the problem goes away. Adding / enabling other modules does not cause any problems.

This is quite a serious problem as I can't do very much without the /admin/build/modules page functioning. I've managed to get to it occasionally by increasing max_execution_time and memory_limit in .htaccess but even that's a gamble as to if the page will work. Plus it still takes several minutes to load the page.

Has anyone else had this problem once they enabled the delegator module?

I am new to Drupal & I am facing the this problem. I cannot see modules list node. Rest of the things seem to work ok. I don't recall exactly what changes I had made in the settings of ctools. My website is hosted on yahoo webhosting.

Please help as I cannot add or alter or remove any of the modules.

I think this may work: increase the memory used in PHP, this is usually set up at 64mb go up to 96mb (don’t go over the limits because it can cause issues later) and you could install uploadprogress-1.0.0.tgz (Google it). I think this is caused after you install any module that handles (download or uploand) big files like pictures, photos, etc…. anyways I ended up making a brand new installation and installing module by module again and calling my web-host to increase the memory because if you are hosting your site most like it you don’t have access to this specific setting. Best look!

I've increased the memory_limit and max_execution_time in php and I am able to access the modules page again, although it takes literally 3 - 5 minutes to load.

Wow, 3-5 minutes.

So what's going on here is that the way tabs work in Drupal 6, they can't be dynamic. To provide the editing tabs for panel pages that you see, they are literally being created for every panel page in the database. That's adding several hundred menu entries which is probably not working out well. This isn't fixable, either, without another major overhaul of the UI, which I guess I have to do.

i had the same problem and solved by adding the table into the database as described by user marcelboere in comment post #9 http://drupal.org/node/469498#comment-1736082
