Hi!
I encounter some problems agter installing a module, after saving configuration (it can be image module, devel or banner) the page doesn't load again, the browser stops on a blank page until I refresh it.

Sometimes after installing a module, I can't even go on the module administration page.

Do you know what can happen ?

Thank you.
Matt

Hi -- I'm very new to Drupal but we had the identical symptoms and it turned out to be that we had hit a Drupal-configurable memory limit. There's very clear messages in the http error log if you can get to that. Maybe this will help? Regards, Jonathan.

Thank you but I don't know where to check this...
It's very strange, I've tried one more time, I can't enable the image module after loading it on the server, I can't access the module admin page but as soon as I remove the module from the server, it works. I've tried to set each file permission at 755 but nothing...

It's really bad... :(

Call up your config page using:

phpinfo();

Look for the 'memory_limit' entry. You can increase this limit in your php.ini file. You can find the location of your php.ini file by looking for the 'Configuration File (php.ini) Path' entry in the config page.

I've tried to increase the limit at 16M then 32M then 50M... Nothing, same problem... the solution should be elsewhere... :-/

Maybe the problem comes from this i18n module, I've tried to remove it , then I come on a "Page Not Found" when I try to reach the module admin.

Hi ... after changing the configuration to increase the memory limit, we found that we had to restart apache to get the values to stick. We didn't look very hard but there must be a way to get Drupal to use the new value even if you can't restart apache. Hope this is of some use. Best regards, Jonathan.

Yes Jonathan, you're right. I forgot to restart Apache... I'll try your solution ASAP ;)
Thanks.
