Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted

[danyaeldemonic]

I'm getting a long error message when attempting to upload a new clip to my site. I've had no problems up until now and the file size is within limits so I'm lost. I have this site professionally hosted and have TONS of space so that shouldn't be an issue
Any suggestions?

Looks like a memory error from PHP.  I would check with your hosting provider to make sure they didn't make any changes to your php.ini.  An upgrade or something which reset things to default.  Or reduced your total memory allocation for some reason.  Would not be disk space related but memory related. --Mitch

thanks, i'll check into that!

It is also possible to increase the memory limit to avoid this problem. you can create this by placing the following line in note pad and save as php.ini then up-load to your forum root.

memory_limit=16M

You should replace the '16' with whatever value is appropriate

beware that some host do not like you doing this

I sent a message to my host, who told me to try to alter the .htaccess file in my server..i assumed he meant the one within tp_downloads as thats where I'm having the issue. That didn't seem to work either. This wouldn't have anything to do with the size of the Avatar/Attachment folder?

I believe you would modify the .htaccess file in the root of you site that way it should handle anything below there.  It should not have anything to do with the site of the directory unless you are running out of disk space. But that should product a different error.  This is a memory error not disk space error. What they are telling you to do is pretty much the same as what Lesmond said only the implementation of you hosting provider is a little different.  What did they say do to, put something like this

Code Select Expand


php_value memory_limit 16M

in the .htaccess file? (16 just an example)

He is already set at 32MB. What size of file are you uploading?

[Skhilled]

Actually, you should put what Les told you in a text file and name it php.ini and put it in the root folder of your forum.

memory_limit 16M

Would that not depend on host the hosting provider has things setup?  I know with one of my providers, for a while we did use a php.ini file then we had to switch to using .htaccess files...

Could be, but most would use php.ini. You should also check with them to make sure it is ok to use a php.ini file as it would override their settings. Some hosting do not allow this and state so in their TOS.
