Post installation

$50 to the first person to rescue me from my living hell.

Consider the following conundrum:

• 2 identical working Drupal websites
• Each residing on a different dedicated Linux / Apache 2.0
• Both websites have identical clean installations of Drupal 4.7.3 (default modules, default blue marine theme, etc.)
• Both websites are setup to use the exact same physical MySQL 4.1.19 database (which resides on a 3rd dedicated, db-only server)
• Both have memory_limit set to 50MB

The problem arises when I try to enable the views.module (v 1.142 2006/08/04 16:00:46)

One site works fine, the other site gives me a white screen of death (no error messages, not in server logs or anything). It happens on and off from the second I hit submit on the modules page. The white screen is site-wide — no URI's work. Physically removing the 'views' directory from /modules/, fixes it immediately.

Researching drupal.org for the last 2 days has revealed the following short list of confirmed causes of similar behavior, followed by my steps to address each:

1. Not enough Memory
   I admit this smells like a memory issue, except that both sites have the memory_limit set to 50MB (which should be more than enough, although I've experimented upwards of 128MB with no improvement), and one site works fine.
2. Cache corruption
   I have repeatedly emptied the cache to no avail.
3. Database corruption
   Both sites are using the exact same - brand new - database, and one works fine.

The biggest difference between the two environments is the fact that the working site uses PHP 4 and the non-working site uses PHP 5, which leads me to believe it's one of the many PHP config settings, I just don't know which one. But I have a crisp $50... (paypal payment) for the first person who does :D

I did this a long time ago, but can't remember where the relevant code is stored.

I want to put a message that login is only available to pre-authorised users.

so where is it stored to hack into?

Thanks.

I posted this somewhere else and have spent a few days seraching for answers so I hope I can get some help by posting this in a seperate topic as I think there are quite a few people with the same issues.

I have drupal 4.7 with cck and views, both installed within the past 2 weeks so they are current(so I think).

I have a cck page, for ex: content-my_page with a few text fields and a couple selection boxes that I want the user to fill in.

I want to create a list page of all pages created with that content. I want to put each content page in a table and hav it look something like this:

picture
title of page (one of the fields)
date created
address (one of the fields)

I used php snippets to make up my custom profile page so I thought it could be used for this as well, but I have no idea how to create a snippet myself and the only snippet I could find for this is just to display the title of the cck pages and when I use that snippet it repeats 10 times.

I don't want it to be a user list because each user will have the opportunity to make more than one of these pages and I wanted them all listed individually.

Which leads me to my next issue: categories.

I haven't been using categories because I simply don't have a need for them, but it seems that my site is not searchable.... is this because there are no categories? I mean I still should be able to search content??

If that's the case, are there existing templates for authoring microformats similar to what Structured Blogging provides?

Thanks

I just disabled the Taxonomy module on this test site http://69.50.214.54/~arhspare/ and now get this error message on all pages:

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: taxonomy_get_tree() in /home/arhspare/public_html/modules/simplenews/simplenews.module on line 125"

Then I looked to see what if anything had changed in the database tables, and discovered that the database is completley gone.

I am not sure how that is possible - somehow SQL from disabling Taxonomy would completely drop the database?

how do i hide the Create Content option for non-admin users? i know it's somewhere in the access control menu, but i'll be damned if i haven't looked and searched everywhere.

also, i've looked on the site but is there a tutorial on how to get started with making your own theme? i only want to make very very basic changes (color, images) but i can't find anything. i was hoping for something a little like how phpBB has menus for changing colors.
