You can read the error messages in Drupal's recent log messages (even if not logged in they can be read if you install drush on the server). You can look at the server logs.

If you run the server yourself you need to be familiar with tools such as server error logs and drush, and learning about them will be very useful all the way through. If you pay for shared hosting it is up to the host to sort out your problems. (However, if you have a chosen a very cheap host rather than a real Drupal specialist they will probably just blame Drupal, which is obviously incorrect if the identical site works on your local computer, in which case you need to pay a bit more and find a real Drupal hosting company.)

If you need to sort out the problem yourself, or if you chose to struggle on with a hosting company which does not support Drupal properly, you can find more detailed advice here http://drupal.org/node/158043/ .

THANK YOU. I just updated a bunch of modules, and I think devel was one of them. Suddenly I got the WSOD, but only when I was logged in. I was able to use drush to disable devel and the site is back up now.

Thank you!
This was driving me bonkers. I downloaded the database and there were NO errors in the report log, there was nothing in the apache logs, and nothing when turning on error reporting in index.php. Disabling the devel module fixed it. Grrr, this took over an hour!

Thank you mouhammed! I get this error while migrating a website to another server. Disabling Devel and then making the backup with the Devel module disabled fixed the issue.

That was it for me too. just issued the following drush command:
drush dis devel

And that did it. No more white screen. Thanks again!

It also happened to me. I have cleared all the temporary files from the "tmp" folder that was created by devel_themer. Disabled devel and devel_themer. taken backup of the table data and then cleared watchdoc table.
and its worked. PHP Memory was a major problem in this case.

Thank you thank you thank you.
I never would've figured out what caused this White Screen of Death WSOD only after logging in if it weren't for this tip.
