[drupal-support] Modules page is locked. [solved]

[William Meertens]

Hi all,

Thank you Brian for pushing me ;-)

I actually was playing with this before. Only not sure it helped. In some way it looked even worse. Only now I know why I did not get it the first time.

Your solution :
         ini_set("memory_limit","16");
Was the one I tried in some form within php.ini, .htaccess and vhosts.conf. Only setting this made everything go blank or nothing worked by clicking on it. Depending on the file and the form.

Yes indeed the form how you type is, is of importance. Your line did not work for me. But this line did :
         ini_set("memory_limit", "16M");

Do not tell me why, but for me it was needed to include the M and ... what troubled me the most ... the space. Silly but true, without the space between the two values it did not work. And that was the hard part, who would guess that. Where it not for you, I would have given up :-) on this line.

Your second statement about the log-setting. I had it on write to log-file and screen. Now I don't anymore, but it works both ways for me.

The only thing I had not was red lines or failures in my Drupal logs. So that was not bringing much. What I do have is everything put 3 times, and exactly, the same line in my log. Do you or anybody perhaps now why ? Not that it's bothering me, it only fills up the log at a triple speed.

All my best,
William.

PS : now we are having real fun again :-)
