Have no access to menus on two of my sites

Hello all,

For weeks now I cannot access the ADMIN/MENU page for my two
largest  
sites, culturekitchen and The Daily Gotham. culturekitchen
is a  
Drupal install (Drupal 4.6). The Daily Gotham is a
CivicSpace install  
(with drupal 4.5).

This is what I get for both pages whenever i try to access
them :

>

>
liza/domains/dailygotham.com/public_html/includes/bootstrap.
inc on  
> line 331

Any ideas as to what is causing this?

yup - it is timing out  - here's
what you can do:

1) Check the apache logs for php errors
2) increase the time allotted to each php invocation -
depending on the
site/configuration you may have to adjust in both PHP as
well as apache.

It is not uncommon (in my experience) for the admin pages to
take a long
time to load - it may be that your DB server performance is
degrading  -
in a shared hosting arrangement with the larger ISPs this is
pretty common.

I would bump it up until the pages appear.  Should certainly
be less
than 1 minute - but ya never know.

I've had to deal with sites performing poorly on shared
hosting  
arrangements, until I finally gave up on them and moved all
but a  
handful to virtual and dedicated hosting. But I have never
had admin  
pages take a minute to load, unless the server was already
under a  
high load or having some serious problems.

I suggested running a table repair as a rule-out kind of
thing b/c  
corrupt tables can slow down performance and prevent some
(or all)  
pages from loading at all. It's just one idea, perhaps not
helpful.  
Maybe mere table optimization would help. Even timing out at
30  
seconds seems excessive, unless the hosting environment is
way  
underpowered or overburdened.

Since Liza reports this is happening on 4.5 and  4.6,
though, it does  
seems strange that only the menus admin page is affected on
both sites.
