Module Manager suddenly empty

[dhathy]

Yesterday I cam home, went to work on my site and was going to read up on the "banner" module.  I went to "Extensions" and "Module Manager" as I normally would.  After a very loooooong time, an empty page appeared with nothing listed.  F5 with the same result.  Cleared the cache, restarted my server, restarted my computer.  This time I got the page but no modules were listed and the text was extremely small.  Two tabs were listed at the top but they would do nothing when clicked.  I do not remember there name - I am at work right now so can't duplicate the problem.

My browser was left open over night but I do this often and have never had anything like this happen.  No permissions were changes, in fact, they are all checked.  I am the only user.  This site is being done at home and while I  have a live test site I prefer to do the work "locally" and then upload to the server, because it is faster at this time

I have done a search on this site but did not turn anything up.  Any suggestions

TIA,
Dan

Strange. Right now on my remote web host ModuleManager is going very slowly. I suspect that it might be that my web host is low on memory for PHP because it works very fast and without any problem on my local test sight.

I'm not sure what can be done to fix this.

You maybe want to go into the #cms channel on irc.freenode.net and talk to calguy100. If he has time, he may be able to help you.

I got home from work late last night, fired up my favorite web browser, logged in to admin and went to Module Manager and low and behold, it was there and working fine.

Sort of an odd  note: this was my local test site at home.  My "live" test site worked fine.  I would think memory but I had closed everthing and rebooted my pc.

This is the only time this has happened.  I will monitor this and then, if needed, go into the cms channel.

hhhhmmmm, he says scratching his head.

Thanks again to a great community

I've got this same issue going on...seems like it happened a couple of days ago.

Not sure WHAT's going on but it certainly is annoying. I even tried replacing the contents of the 1.0.4 upgrade again, but to no avail. I thought it might be related to memory issues on my host's server, but he really has no memory restrictions in place.

hmmm....

It could be that the CMSMS server hosting the modules is running slowly sometimes. As more modules are added, I'm sure it will make it a little slower.

All the modules listed in ModuleManager should also be available on the Forge here: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/ The dev site usually does not have any problems.

You can either download the XML files from each modules project files and install them on admin/listmodules.php, or download the zip files and upload the folders via FTP.

Hope this helps,

Elijah

I've got the same problem as described by Dan.

After some investigation, I found out, that the error occured when loading the nuSOAP module by the Module Manager. Indeed I had unistalled this module right before this happened (because I didn't know, that this module is needed by the Module Manager).

After reinstalling nuSOAP, the Module Manager worked again.

I've seen this type of problem where the PHP memory limit is set to 8M.
If your host is a Linux box and you don't have access to the php.ini file, you could try adding:

Code: Select all

ini_set("memory_limit", "16M");

to your config.php file.
