Fatal Error after TP 0983 install

[scaryplace]

So I'm running SMF 1-1-6, Fresh install, got it running on ubuntu server 8.10 with minimal problems (CHMOD issues). Now I finally get to apply, and install TP from package manager and now when I go to my site I get the following message

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /var/www/Sources/Load.php(1735) : eval()'d code on line 136

Is there any way to recover from this or am I screwed to a fresh install from ground zero?

Also to note this is on a Dell PowerEdge R300 dual Quad Core with 24 gigs ram. (The forum screemed before TP crashed out)

Thanks

your host needs to set the RAM to a higher value then 8mb in php.ini

You can do the manual install of tp. that way you dont use up the mem.

How do I manually install TinyPortal

Actually I think I found my issue, When I installed TP a couple files in the classic theme were still marked chmod 655.

What I did to fix it

Wiped out /var/www completely

Re-uploaded SMF 1-1-6 to the server and ran chmod -R 777 /var/www

setup SMF via the browser, thankfully I left the database info the same and all my SMF changes stayed.

Now I was able to upload and install TP with no issue.

Hope this helps if anyone else runs in to the issue.

I too had this problem. It totally screwed up my runnding system and I was unable to use the SMF admin pages again. Had to resort to removing the whole thing manually using this page:

This is really bad. An import of a modification should not under any circumstances lead to an inoperable SMF install. Luckily for me the manual uninstall worked out.

Just my 2 cents.

And it's really bad to have a pisspoor config on the server aswell

You wouldn't have to do a manual uninstall if you did a backup right before you did the install.

Right. And with that, TinyPortal sealed its future use with me. Nice.

I've installed a dusin or more mods with SMF and never have the installation of the mod itself caused so much pain. Some mods have failed to work, so I just uninstalled them. From now on I wont trust any modwriters. Thats for sure.

Doubt any mod have been as large as TP, and if you think of it, thousands of members have installed it with out any issues what so ever, so I think it's more a question on who is behind the controlls during the install

So in your view, distributing a piece of code that breaks a working system is the users fault, because they have "piss poor" configs? You would'nt even consider looking at the "piss poor" section of code that causes this error? Or even warn or do a runtime check before the install starts? Instead of attacking someone who reports an error, maybe you should spend time fixing the issue?
