What does the PHP error log contain regarding the problem? Big blank pages often

Got the same problem, running PHP 5.1.6 Apache 2.x, but on a Linux server.
Unfortunately I can't access the error logs...

Hi... I had the same problem...

The problem was that PHP ran out of allowed memory. Please check php and/or
apache logs.

I've set the memory_limit in php.ini to

memory_limit = 20M

(instead of 8M) and my problems disappeared

Thanks Thom,

seems that the memory_limit did it...

In case you don't have access to php.ini, adding these lines at the top of
index.php might work for you:

ini_set(memory_limit,"20M");

(see
http://users.757.org/~joat/wiki/index.php/Fixing_MediaWiki's_memory_issues_when_you_don't_have_access_to_php.ini
)

worked for me ;)
