I've to cope with something very odd: I can't add any type of content anymore. For example: when I go to Content > Add content > Article, I navigate correctly to the 'add acticle' page, but I simply get a white screen. I didn't have this before and I can't remember installing new modules. I already tried to flush all caches, but that didn't solve anything. Even when I add

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);
?>

to my index.php or settings.php file, no erros are displayed. Please help!

Edit 1: going to the Configuration screen doesn't result in a WSOD. There's only a white screen when I try to add content.

Edit 2: I discovered that I also get a WSOD when I try to edit already existing content. Please help me! I really can't do anything anymore!

  • Is there any information in admin/reports/dblog?

  • On which environment runs your Drupal website (Windows, Apache, MySql, PHP)? You can check the log files to see what causes the WSOD (if it is a WAMP stack, i.e.: c:/wamp/logs/apache_error.log). I remember that a particular version of PHP (4.3.10) was causing a WSOD ...

  • Ok, create manually the log file in the directory "C:/wamp/www/memopoezie/", named apache_error.log. And retry to add content. If it is PHP error, it will be logged in that file.

There was something wrong with my database. I had to delete it and reinstall my backup.

Open your "settings.php" file and add the following at the top:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);
?>

Update your question to include the errors that show up when you get the white screen.

  • Don't you mean index.php? This a good guide for debugging "White Screen of Death" or WSOD: drupal.org/node/158043

  • Following your link @KariKääriäinen, I added the code to my index.php file, but after I flushed caches and tried to add a certain content type, no error messages were displayed. I just got exactly the same white screen as before...

  • Your best bet is to keep going through that list. It's loooong, I know ;)

  • @KariKääriäinen I'm sure index.php works as well, but I'm not sure there's a reason to NOT put it in settings.php from what I can see, both are valid, and recommendations are split regarding where to include it. I would argue that it makes more sense to include in settings.php, since index.php contains no user configurable parameters.

  • Thanks. I didn't realize it could work in settings.php equally well. After a short research it looks like the best location can depend on the problem. I would try index.php at least to start with.
