    Hi Guys,

    I am creating a new site for a client using version 2.1.1. The installation worked fine but when I try to click on Admin > Channel Administration > Channels or Custom Fields etc, I just get a blank white page. No options are shown, no error is displayed.

    I am logging in as a Super Admin user.

    The system URL finishes with “&D=cp&C=admin_content&M=field_group_management”.

    I have cleared my cache and tried access on a number of browsers and two different laptops. Strange thing is Admin > Overview works fine, its like some of the admin options have been disabled.

    I am not sure if I need to enable those admin settings?

    Regards,

    Aidan

    Hi, Aidan,

    Have you seen: EEWiki:// HowTo Determine Memory Limits

    -and-

    EEWiki:// HowTo Override Memory Limitations

    Can you tell us how much PHP memory is allocated?

    Are you using any sort of third party add-ons, if so, which ones?

    Hi Sue,

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    I just checked my PHP info and it states 128M for “memory_limit”. Should it be larger?

    In terms of add-ons, I just completed a standard EE installation, I picked some modules to include as part of the installation.

    Thanks

    Aidan

    128 MB should certainly be more than sufficient. Can you please try to turn on PHP errors? A white page is a suppressed PHP error, more often than not.

    You might also want to upgrade to EE 2.1.3.

    Hi Ingmar,

    OK not sure if I did the right thing but

    1. I added the following code to my main index.php template into between two script tags

    ini_set('display_errors', 1);

    2. I then checked the system/index.php file and it has the following code

    /*
     * --------------------------------------------------------------------
     *  Set the error reporting level
     * --------------------------------------------------------------------
     */    
        if (DEBUG == 1)
        {
            error_reporting(E_ALL);
            @ini_set('display_errors', 1);
        }
        else
        {
            error_reporting(0);    
        }

    3. I then went to Admin› System Preferences › Output and Debugging Preferences. Debug Preference were already set to to “1. PHP/SQL error messages show only to Super Admins”.

    I accessed the index page of the site and no errors showed up. Not sure if I am missing a step here?

    Regards,

    Aidan

    Hi Guys,

    I upgraded my version to 2.1.3 and I seem to now have access to all the admin options. I will monitor it for the next day or so and then close this ticket if all resolved.

    Regards,

    Aidan
