Administer section freezes..
aravind90 - July 2, 2009 - 17:13
After installation, when I login into admin section, the administer section doesn't work and the link freezes.. http://localhost/drupal/?q=admin .. The link just leads to a white empty page.. I don't understand the problem as it is my first time using drupal.. Thanks for any help..

If you search the forum for
If you search the forum for white screens, you'll see that there is loads of discussion/help on this topic already. It's usually tied to a memory issue or even a need to refresh your browser and/or clear cache. You might want to search the forums first and then, if none of the solutions offered help, then re-post.
Tried everything..
I tried almost everything on the WSOD troubleshooting page. I am using version 6.13 with php version 5.25 and MySQL version 5.0.51a. Its not an update but a direct installation. I am not using admin_menu module. only the core modules. Right after the fresh installation, the admin pages were frozen. I did not find any memory problems or fatal PHP errors even after manually setting the index.php to show errors. Somehow, after half an hour, without doing anything, the admin pages started to work again. So, I installed a new theme , the 0 point theme which I am also using on other places. Then, the theme was successfully set, but the admin pages were all frozen again. I tried clearing the cache table manually and all but nothing seems to be working.. So, can someone please figure out whats going on?

Admin menu had an issue which
Admin menu had an issue which was causing white screens of death on some admin pages (notably the modules page)
Before upgrading to Drupal 6.13 update admin_menu from 6x1.4 to 6X1.5 or higher.

Hi
1) If you have PHPmyAdmin you can login,
or what I did
2) Disabled the module using DRUSH, much quicker if you have SSH access to your server
drush disable admin_menu
