Hi everyone, I've been currently having problems with my Drupal setup

I have the following modules installed:
Gallery2 (integration)
CCK
Views
Views Bonus
OG
ImageCache
Panels
Ahah_helper
Webform

I've been experiencing many blank screens throughout different processes such as:

Activating a module
Saving a new view type
Accessing Navigation menus.

When I get a blank page, I can usually reload and the changes to a module or view will update, but my main problem is being able to access the main Navigation menu. When I click on it it just stays blank. My problem with the blank screen is located here:

sitename.com/admin/build/menu-customize/navigation

Is this because of a PHP memory limit or does anyone know what the problem could be

I have the exact same problem with my Drupal website hosted on Sourceforge.net. Pages are often blank on first request; a reload usually gets them right. And yes, the Navigation Menu page is always blank, no matter how many times I reload it.

I guess it's linked to some limit defined somewhere in the configuration (memory?). Unfortunately, I cannot modify the configuration on Sourceforge.net...

I had to contact my hosting provider to ask them to bump up the php_memory_limit to 128M....works fine now. Except on permission pages where i have many roles and different permissions checkboxes.

128 seems really unacceptable to me. Especially if most hosting companies won't bump up your memory to that amount even if you ask them nicely.

Is there a different solution? Has "Drupal" considered making their resource use more efficient?

i'll post back here if I find an alternate configuration solution, so far sourceforge.net setup has been pretty smooth - well, once I got over the huge sourceforge.net shell environment learning curve with symbolic links around to all the persistent resources, etc..

Ok that was quick. Regarding the sourceforge.net problem (and I'm running Drupal 6.x). Editing the default/setting.php and set the memory limit from 32M to 48M solved the Navigation menu editing problem. If I remember right a few months ago I changed the memory limit from 16M to 32M so I could access my modules administration page.

On sourceforge.net,

gain shell access
cd /home/group/N/NN/projectname
continue navigating to the project's drupal installation directory
cd sites/default
vi settings.php

find or add the memory_limit setting and bump it up
ini_set('memory_limit', '48M');

I don't know what sourceforge allows for memory limits, but it seems to allow 48M. Other ISPs I've put sites on have had smaller memory limits and I haven't tried Drupal 6.x on them. For Drupal 5.x sites I've always found 32M to be enough. *shrug*
