 FYI: I am new to drupal and PHP, but I have been a programmer for
 25 years. Have you written any custom modules? If so, have you run
 syntax check (php -l)?

 :) I like drupal, although I would have written it in python. However,
 even python will give you a WSOD if you haven't included the right
 module....

 Also, I don't note where you said what OSes you are using. I recently
 transitioned from linux to mac and mac has got some gotchas with PHP
 and mysql.

 Best of luck. Here's hoping you get some more replies.
