I am installing Drupal and I am getting white blank screen of death with nothing in it. How do I solve it?

You can look at the error if you enable display_errors (i.e. set to on) in your php.ini and restart apache. This would display the error: "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted".

This error is caused by low memory size of a php process on your server where you are installing Drupal.

The solution to white screen of death on drupal is to increase your memory_limit in php.ini to 64M or 128M.

Restart your apache and try again. The problem would go away.

  • You can enable syntax highlighting of source code with the following tags: <code>, <blockcode>, <c>, <cpp>, <drupal5>, <drupal6>, <java>, <javascript>, <php>, <python>, <ruby>. Beside the tag style "<foo>" it is also possible to use "[foo]". PHP source code can also be enclosed in <?php ... ?> or <% ... %>.
