Comment 1 Aldo Necci 2015-04-06 14:56:19 UTC 
This issue still exists in moodle-2.6.10-1.el6.noarch from EPEL 6 testing repository.
Comment 2 Aldo Necci 2015-04-15 13:33:25 UTC 
This issue comes from Moodle version 2.6.x which includes the plugin "PDF annotation" which compromises the assignment module.
To have assignment module working again it's necessary to remove that plugin.

A. Does this still impact 2.6.11?

B. If so, which file provides that plugin?

Comment 8 Aldo Necci 2016-06-15 07:54:49 UTC 
Yes, I'm using moodle-2.6.11-3.el6 and it still has that issue.
It is the standard PDF annotation feature in Moodle 2.6.x that causes this issue.
Comment 9 Gwyn Ciesla 2016-06-24 17:40:00 UTC 
Do you know which file/files that is?
Comment 10 Sergio Basto 2018-05-31 01:27:17 UTC 
hum I think I found the solution of the problem of blank page is about this PHP Fatal Error [1], solution [2]

[1]
PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required '/var/www/moodle/web/lib/simplepie/moodle_simplepie.php' (include_path='/var/www/moodle/web/lib/pear:.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/moodle/web/blocks/rss_client/block_rss_client.php on line 283

[2]
cd /var/www/moodle/web/lib/
ln -s /usr/share/php/php-simplepie/ simplepie
