Forum Display Order - I think I'm submitting too much data. Goes to white page. Help?

[_Ryfe_]

Ok this is a huge board with a ton of forums. I want some of the forums to be in alphabetical order. However, there's so many that I think PHP won't send that much data to update all the forum orders at once. It's like it's timing out. Is there anyway I can set vB to send as much data as it could possibly need? We have a good server. When I submit the new display orders, it just loads a blank white page and the display orders become jumbled. I definitely would like to fix this. I've already had to update the max ammount of information the forums can hold from like 8 up to 22mb's because we have so many usergroups/forums.

Any help is appreciated.

1st you need to check the apache logs and verify what the real issue is.
2nd Do you have a server administrator?

Seeing as you have root access to the server, verify apaches log location, as it varies from O/S to O/S, as well its dependent on the control panel installed.

Run this cmd to find out apaches current running location.

ps ax | grep httpd

Linux
tail -f /etc/httpd/logs/error_log
tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

Debian
tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

You may need to enable apache's debug mode.
Edit httpd.conf or apache.conf (this varies from OS to OS as well.)
Add or edit to show the following and HUP apache

LogLevel debug

Do you have Suhosin/Hardended PHP/mod_security installed?

Try increasing the php memory limit and mysql settings as needed
