modules not showing-up

I have the Drupal 6.9 stack on Windows XP (SP3). When I go to “administer/site building/modules”, the modules do not show-up. The page remains blank.
All other pages come up (such as “menus” and “blocks”).
I have the custom modules in “sites/all/modules”. But even the core modules are not displayed.

If this can help, here is the error log in Apache when I try to access the modules.
Thanks!

Edit:
I found that line 92 in drupal\\htdocs\\sites\\default\\settings.php started with a slash before the variable.
I took the slash out and it solved the problem of the “unexpected character” warning.
But I still can’t figure out the other errors.

Hi,

I have checked the modules page in a fresh install and it works. I believe that one of your custom modules (or a core one that you enabled after the installation) may be causing this issue, can you please start over with a fresh installation and enable/install modules one by one?

Cheers

I did an uninstall and reinstall (with a new download) and have the same results. There is no way to enable or disable modules, as they are not showing up at all. All the other admin functions work well, except for Modules. I’m on Windows XP and used both Firefox and IE browsers.
When I run the “update.php” after the install, I get the following error messages:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\Program Files\BitNami Drupal 6 Stack\apps\drupal\htdocs\includes\database.mysql.inc on line 108

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\Program Files\BitNami Drupal 6 Stack\apps\drupal\htdocs\includes\session.inc on line 56

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\Program Files\BitNami Drupal 6 Stack\apps\drupal\htdocs\includes\batch.inc on line 351

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\Program Files\BitNami Drupal 6 Stack\apps\drupal\htdocs\includes\session.inc on line 14

The install that doesn’t work is on my laptop.
I now did an install on one of my Windows workstations, and it works.
The laptop has the same OS as the desktop but I still can’t get the modules to appear.

It is strange. The error seems to be related to session. Could you post more details? What you can see in the apache log file (apache2/logs/error)?

I am having the very same problem. This is my first time use of Drupal and using the Bitnami stack. I did the installation and on my first login as admin, it told me I needed to do some sort of update which went ok. I was then following through the documentation pages on drupal.org that was showing me how to get started with the basic stuff. Then I was going through the “Drupal Cookbook” when it told me to visit Administration>>Site building>>Modules and when I did, the problem began. Roughly 30 seconds after clicking on the Modules link, I had a blank module page.

Checking in the Apache error log I found this:

PHP Warning: Unexpected character in input: ’\\’ (ASCII=92) state=1 in C:\\Program Files\\BitNamiDrupal6Stack\\apps\\drupal\\htdocs\\sites\\default\\settings.php on line 92, referer: http://d1895c01/drupal/?q=admin
PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\\Program Files\\BitNamiDrupal6Stack\\apps\\drupal\\htdocs\\includes\\database.mysql.inc on line 108, referer: http://d1895c01/drupal/?q=admin

Looking in the settings.php file I found what the gentleman above did, a leading slash character at the beginning of the $db_url line (interestingly this same invalid character appears in the comments or $db_url just above this line).

Even after removing this invalid character (which removed this warning message), I was still getting the 30 second timeout message for database.mysql.inc. I searched all over the Internet and found other people with this problem but no one had solutions. The advice given most of the time was to do a re-install.

So I did that this morning. I uninstalled the Bitnami stack and installed it again. I went right to the Modules screen and the same exact thing is happening. I get the warning and the error in the Apache error file and I get a blank modules screen (http://d1895c01/drupal/admin/build/modules).

Does anyone know what this is and how I can fix it? If not, I figure it’s time to cross Drupal off the list and move on to Joomla. Thank you!

Thanks for posting it, we will looking into this issue.

Cheers.

We have verified this issue and we will upload a new version tomorrow if it pass all our tests.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

We have released a new version of Drupal 6. Could you try the latest one?

Cheers.

Will do. Thanks so much!

Downloaded 6.10-1 stack
Uninstalled 6.10-0 stack
Installed 6.10-1 stack
Everything went fine
Logged in as admin and clicked on the Modules page
Got a blank page again
Checked apache error log:

Fri Apr 03 12:39:30 2009 [client 9.27.218.249] PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\\Program Files\\BitNamiDrupal6Stack\\apps\\drupal\\htdocs\\includes\\database.mysql.inc on line 108, referer: http://d5551895c01/drupal/admin/build

:-(

Ouch! I will try to find the problem, we did not see any error message in our tests. Could you post the line 108 of database.mysql.inc?

I am new and I am having the same problem from the start. Windows XP.

Line 108 of database.mysql.inc:

$result = mysql_query($query, $active_db);

It almost seems as though MySQL is not running and therefor not responding?

Hi,

It is strange, we can not reproduce in our systems. We will investigate deeply this bug and we will try to fix. You can check if mysql is running in the Windows task manager. Could you check that you have not any rule for MySQL in the Windows firewall or any other firewall that you have installed?

Cheers.

Windows Task Manager shows mysqld.exe running so I’m assuming that’s it. And I have found nothing in the firewall blocking configuration that would prevent it from running.

ive been fighting with this same problem for a month. finally decided to install the turnkey linux drupal appliance to play with drupal on my local machine. problem solved. more complicated to install than the bitnami stack, but no more tearing my hair out over the missing module page. i really liked the ease and simplicity of the bitnami stack. hope it gets fixed.

I’m having the same problem. I guess there’s some comfort in having company. ;-) I have not reinstalled the latest download since that didn’t fix the others problems. I too am on a laptop for what that’s worth. I get the same error at line 108 of database.mysql.inc.

Any help greatly appreciated!

I was facing the same problem and I noticed that my disk kept going for a good 30 secs before giving me the blank page. This led me to believe that the execution time is not enough for this page and we need to give it more time to finish what it needs to do.

This fix works…

Change line 304 in <bitnami wampstack home>\php\php.ini
From:
max_execution_time = 30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds

To:
max_execution_time = 60 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds

Thanks! That fixed it for me too. BTW, does anyone know how to stop/start the Apache server or whatever I need to restart when making changes like this? I’ve just been rebooting for now but I’m sure there’s an easier way.

Thanks, hgujral! That fixed my problem as well. Although I do admit that I find it odd that an operation like this would take 40 seconds (on my machine) to complete on my 2.4GHz Intel Duo Core system with 2G of RAM. Perhaps this was just a first-time thing due to extra initialization that needed to be done?

As for nicholsonma’s questions, when I installed the stack on my Windows system, it provided links in the Start menu to start and stop the stack services. And on Windows it’s simply a BAT (servicerun.bat) file so I’m sure there’s a similar script that’s run if you’re on Linux/Unix.

Thanks hgujral :) I’m sure that this is the reason that we can not reproduce the issue.

@nicholsonma, if you installed on Windows there is a shortcut to stop/start the servers. For Linux, OS X and Solaris you can find “ctlscript.sh” to manage the servers in the installation directory.

$ ./ctlscript.sh help
usage: ./ctlscript.sh help
       ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart|status)
       ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart|status) mysql
       ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart|status) apache
help       - this screen
start      - start the service(s)
stop       - stop  the service(s)
restart    - restart or start the service(s)
status     - show the status of the service(s)

I hope it helps.

I’ve had to up my max_execution_time to > 60 seconds as I was still getting timeouts – probably time to get a new (faster) laptop! Thanks for the info on the shortcut – I feel dumb for not checking the obvious!

finally someone has come across the same error PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\\Program Files\\Drupal 6 Stack\\apps\\drupal\\htdocs\\includes\\database.mysql.inc on line 108

I have change the execution time to 300 secs …why on gods planet it still tells me execution time of 30 secs execeeded …where can i change this ..i guess something is overridding my php settings ..

I have spend two days with this issue .. somebody give me a clue …

Have you restarted the servers? Try to restart them using the shortcuts on Windows or using the “ctlscript.sh” on Linux or OS X.

yes i have restarted the apache server …restart the bitnami stack service ..but to no avail ..

why is still showing execution time of 30 secs exceded when i have changed it now to 300 in php.ini..

i have attached the error log file just in case

It seems that this is a common Drupal issue on Windows. Check this thread Could you try to change the
