Drupal Blank Page
By amber - Posted on March 17th, 2007
When setting up a drupal site and you encounter the infamous blank page problem, i.e all you get is a blank page...
It is really helpful to find out what errors are being generated on your server.
On a OS X 10.4.8 Mac, I opened a terminal window and input the following, one command on each line.
cd /
cd var/log/httpd
tail error_log
In my case, I was getting a fatal php error due to coming up against a memory limit in php. If that happens to you, go to your settings.php file and add the following in the section with all the other php directives.
ini_set('memory_limit', '24M');
But check your error log to make sure you are fixing the correct problem!
Thank you amber, I just tried setting the memory_limit like you're suggested and it works like a charm. I've been trying to figure this for hours as I don't have access to SSH nor the error logs, until I read this post :)
