[support] white screen of death

[Greg Holsclaw]

If you are getting a white screen of death on all pages, it may be a
memory limit. Is this site more complex than the others? More modules
loaded?

 

Try inserting this in your settings.php file

 

ini_set('memory_limit', '12M');

 

Increase the number until it works (or you hit the maximum set by your
host)

 

Also, you might try disabling all your modules and turn off clean URLs
before you export the db from your development server. Then try turning
on the modules one at a time, to see if a problem occurs.

Subject: [support] white screen of death

 

I've been building a site (ecommerce, simplenews, mailmime, and a bunch
of others) on our development server. I transfered it to the live host
today and imported the db. When I pulled up the site I get a white
screen.

 

We've loaded up sites on this host before without a problem, so there is
some strange thing going on with this new site.

 

I really don't want to rebuild the site from scratch on the host. It'll
take days.

 

So, is there some way I can debug this? See exactly where it's failing?
The hosts errors logs show nothing.  

 

I tried some insert "echo" commands here and there to do some
rudimentary tracing. It's failing when "print theme('page', $return);"
is called in index.php. I sprinkled some echos in phptemplate.engine but
I became overwhelmed because I don't know exactly how the functions get
called, in what order, etc.

 

Any help would be appreciated.
