I installed Drupal 5.18 on a new installation, imported by database (from Drupal 5.1) and added all the latest modules using Update Status as my guide.

PROBLEM
1. I am not able to move a Block (regular of multi-language Block) from one Region to another. (Or from Disabled to a Region.)

2. However, I am a able to create a new Block.

3. But I am not able to create a multi-language block.

I looked for a solution and found this post elsewhere:

We had the same problem. Our block page contained over 200 variables, which caused the Suhosin Extension to block the POST DATA.

We fixed it by asking the hosting to change Suhosin settings.

suhosin.post.max_vars = 200, became 500.

My web host made this change but it didn't help. Any suggestions on what I can try next?

FYI: I switched to Garland and experienced the same problem. (My theme is Newsflash.)

Following the advice on another thread, I created a filename php.ini in my text editor, added this line to it:
php.ini, I increased max_execution_time=50000

Then I uploaded it to my root Drupal directory. Now I can move blocks around again.

Thank you very much, thumperstrauss. This solved my problem for now.

I want to know the root cause. I have restarted apache, still the same.

This php.ini solution is temporary, I am rather apprehensive setting high value for max_execution_time=50000.

Thank you for this.

For me it helped to disable the Bean module.

Best regards,
