I have seen that before but now can't remember what caused it. It must have been to do with some incorrectly installed module. Which installation package did you use? Was this an upgrade? Perhaps if you email me the source code of that page it will give me a clue.

Please check this

http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=9189

and FAQ.
  • are there blanks on the end of your config.php
  • check the php- memory limit
  • check permissions for moodle data directory
When you can't find an error, please post your config.php.

Hope this helps.

______________
my config.php

//=========================================================================
// 2. WEB SITE LOCATION
//=========================================================================
// Now you need to tell Moodle where it is located. Specify the full
// web address to where moodle has been installed.  If your web site
// is accessible via multiple URLs then choose the most natural one
// that your students would use.  Do not include a trailing slash
$CFG->wwwroot   = 'http://www.mra-acup.com/moodle';

//=========================================================================
// 3. SERVER FILES LOCATION
//=========================================================================
// Next, specify the full OS directory path to this same location
// Make sure the upper/lower case is correct.  Some examples:
//
//    $CFG->dirroot = 'c:\program files\easyphp\www\moodle';    // Windows
//    $CFG->dirroot = '/var/www/html/moodle';     // Redhat Linux
//    $CFG->dirroot = '/home/example/public_html/moodle'; // Cpanel host
$CFG->dirroot   = '/usr/local/sites/mra-acup.com/htdocs/moodle';

//=========================================================================
// 4. DATA FILES LOCATION
//=========================================================================
// Now you need a place where Moodle can save uploaded files.  This
// directory should be readable AND WRITEABLE by the web server user
// (usually 'nobody' or 'apache'), but it should not be accessible
// directly via the web.
//
// - On hosting systems you might need to make sure that your "group" has
//   no permissions at all, but that "others" have full permissions.
//
// - On Windows systems you might specify something like 'c:\moodledata'
$CFG->dataroot  = '/mra-acup.com/moodledata';

//=========================================================================
// 5. DATA FILES PERMISSIONS
//=========================================================================
// The following parameter sets the permissions of new directories
// created by Moodle within the data directory.  The format is in
// octal format (as used by the Unix utility chmod, for example).
// The default is usually OK, but you may want to change it to 0750
// if you are concerned about world-access to the files (you will need
// to make sure the web server process (eg Apache) can access the files.
// NOTE: the prefixed 0 is important, and don't use quotes.
$CFG->directorypermissions = 0750;

//=========================================================================
// 6. DIRECTORY LOCATION  (most people can just ignore this setting)
//=========================================================================
// A very few webhosts use /admin as a special URL for you to access a
// control panel or something.  Unfortunately this conflicts with the
// standard location for the Moodle admin pages.  You can fix this by
// renaming the admin directory in your installation, and putting that
// new name here.  eg "moodleadmin".  This will fix admin links in Moodle.
$CFG->admin = 'admin';

//=========================================================================
// 7. OTHER MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS (ignore these for new installations)
//=========================================================================
//
// These are additional tweaks for which no GUI exists in Moodle yet.
//
//
// Prevent users from updating their profile images
//      $CFG->disableuserimages = true; 
//
// Prevent scheduled backups from operating (and hide the GUI for them)
// Useful for webhost operators who have alternate methods of backups
//      $CFG->disablescheduledbackups = true;
//
// Restrict certain usernames from doing things that may mess up a site
// This is especially useful for demonstration teacher accounts
//      $CFG->restrictusers = 'teacher,fred,jim';
//
// Turning this on will make Moodle filter more than usual, including
// forum subjects, activity names and so on (in ADDITION to the normal
// texts like forum postings, journals etc).  This is mostly only useful
// when using the multilang filter.   This feature may not be complete.
//      $CFG->filterall = true;
//
// Setting this to true will enable admins to edit any post at any time
//      $CFG->admineditalways = true;
//
// This variable will override the default block configuration on newly
// created courses, or on upgraded courses from Moodle 1.2.1 and earlier.
// The names here should all be existing blocks in the "blocks" directory.
//      $CFG->defaultblocks = "participants,activity_modules,search_forums,admin,course_list:news_items,calendar_upcoming,recent_activity";
//
// This setting will put Moodle in Unicode mode.  It's very new and
// most likely doesn't work yet.   THIS IS FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY, IT IS
// NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION SITES
//      $CFG->unicode = true;
//=========================================================================
// ALL DONE!  To continue installation, visit your main page with a browser
//=========================================================================
if (file_exists("$CFG->dirroot/lib/setup.php"))  {       // Do not edit
    include_once("$CFG->dirroot/lib/setup.php");
} else {
    if ($CFG->dirroot == dirname(__FILE__)) {
        echo "<p>Could not find this file: $CFG->dirroot/lib/setup.php</p>";
        echo "<p>Are you sure all your files have been uploaded?</p>";
    } else {
        echo "<p>Error detected in config.php</p>";
        echo "<p>Error in: \$CFG->dirroot = '$CFG->dirroot';</p>";
        echo "<p>Try this: \$CFG->dirroot = '".dirname(__FILE__)."';</p>";
    }
    die;
}
// MAKE SURE WHEN YOU EDIT THIS FILE THAT THERE ARE NO SPACES, BLANK LINES,
// RETURNS, OR ANYTHING ELSE AFTER THE TWO CHARACTERS ON THE NEXT LINE.

Please check
When do you have change this
$CFG->directorypermissions = 0750;

it is necessary, that your web-user have wirte access to sessions- directory.

Then delete the database and try a new installation.

Hope this helps.

This problem *IS* caused by low-memory. Check the FAQ for instructions on increasing the memory available to PHP - 16MB (default it 8MB), should suffice.
