I run php bin/magento module:enable, page stops loading after that

Question

Fresh install of M2.1 on a Turnkey LAMP (with updated php 5.6 and mysql).

I'm trying to test install a 3rd party module, and one of the commands is:

<code>php bin/magento module:enable module1a module1b</code>

As soon as I run this command, the website (both front end and admin pages) stop loading.

I then try "php bin/magento setup:upgrade" which completes with no errors, I then run "setup:di:compile", and then "setup:static-content:deploy" again with no errors.

However, I cannot seem to get the website to load ever again after this.

What am I doing wrong/missing ?

(I'm very new to M2's compile process and correct order of commands).

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

So it turns out, after running the initial module:enable several folders in my /var folder became unread/writeable (have no idea how thats possible), but after resetting the access permissions, the website started to load, and everything started to work.

Answer 2

Please run the below setup upgrade command after enable/disable the module:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

Enable the one module one time using command below:

php bin/magento module:enable Module_Name

That may help you!!
