Hello,
Due to the changes I'm about to install the forum from the scratch. But there's an error striking me. Ive had this already this morning just when going to step 2 the script spits out the following error:
| Quote: |
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2411058 bytes) in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/kunden/web180/html/install.php on line 218
|
Server configuration is nothing to worry about: Apache 1.3.19, PHP 4.06 (safe mode is off, register globals on), MySQL 3.23.37. Haven't had this yesterday or the day before and the server's settings haven't changed either. Right now it seems that the error message won't disappear anymore  Any help would be gladly appreciated
bye Ken

Hmmm...
Well the "entire" install script is 2 megs, somehow PHP made it use over 8 megs of memory.... 99% of which is actually a base64 string.
Tells you something about the design of PHP, or more precicely lack there of.
I've added a code to install script to try to set the memory limit to 20 megs.
Also, php 4.06 has a bug with memory limit, if you want to use memory limit you MUST patch your php. Here is the url to the patch:
http://www.php.net/do_download.php?download_file=php-4.0.6-memlimit.diff.gz
Patch Notes:
# (This patch fixes a bug in the 4.0.6 memory limit option. This is only needed when configuring PHP with --enable-memory-limit). If you have problems applying the patch try using GNU patch.

I dunno why this happened but somehow the server suddenly has decided to continue now  Ok expect an updated German message file once I completed installation.

. Hm since the hoster obviously didn't bother to apply the patch, is there a workaround that I can install the forum?
