Hey Guys, this is the first Drupal site Im completing and was getting ready to deploy so I went into site performance to enable production recommended settings.

After fiddiling around I found out that its the Optimize CSS files setting that gives me the WSOD when I enable it. The WSOD is site wide. So I deleted my theme and finally was able to access the site again.

Put my theme back in and everything is OK.

My questions is, knowing that the Optimize CSS is the setting that is causing this and removing my theme will fix it, what could you recommend as a starting point to fix this so I can use my template as still be able to enable the Optimize CSS option?

By the way Im using Drupal 6 and my own custom theme that I built off of the garland theme.

Thanks!

Do regular uploads work? have you confirmed your "temp" directory works? Have you configured your "files" folder and made it writable by the server?

If yes to all, can't help ya ... just giving troubleshooting tips at 6:43am

Hey Matt, yeah uploads work.

Not sure what you mean though as far as temp directory working. I dont see any temp folder anywhere in sites directory.

Also in regards to the files folder I believe your referring to the one at sites/default/files.

What is there to configure on the files folder other than setting permissions to 744 or 755?

Thanks!

Disregard my "troubleshooting" then ... if file uploads work, your temp directory works (set in PHP.ini by your host usually).

It seems to be an outstanding issue with Drupal for quite a while (http://drupal.org/node/232444) but must only affect a small number of people.

I found this too ... might be worth checking out: http://blog.unstaticinaction.com/2009/06/08/css-agregator-drupal-optimiz...

good luck.

Hi!

Aside from removing current theme to resolve WSOD, what else should be done to undo/disable CSS
optimization that caused WSOD to my live site?

I have tried deleting my theme but still I can't access my site..

Thanks!
