[support] Can't Access Modules!?

[Larry Garfield]

Very common problem.  The admin/modules page has to parse the code for *all* 
modules on the site, whether enabled or not.  Once you start adding a lot of 
modules beyond the core set, that can get big, fast, and break the 8 MB 
memory limit on PHP that is the typical default.  You'll need to increase the 
memory size.  I suggest 24 MB to give yourself room to grow.  (I've yet to 
hit that limit personally.)

There are a couple of plans to help reduce memory usage in future versions of 
Drupal, but for now 4.6 and 4.7 both have this issue.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
