Dirty Bill

Wasn’t abuse esmi. I don’t know you, your response was aggressive, wasn’t trying to start anything, just trying to solve a problem.

Well, I don’t know any other definition of host. I run a cloudserver (rackspace) – amd64 debian (squeeze) 512MB/20gb that hosts only this single installation that I’m having trouble with.

The memory issue came out of the blue, site has been running great with WP_MEM (previously) set at 32M and PHP capped at 128M, no new plugins, no new themes, now can only access the dashboard if I turn off the memory filter in admin.php.

It’s apparent from the sheer number of these threads that I’m not the only one with this issue, or the question about the 256k error message.

Yo ESMI, you aren’t reading the issue. I am the host. WordPress is making the request…cease trolling.

To everyone else: I tried commenting out these lines in admin.php:
if ( current_user_can( ‘manage_options’ ) )
@ini_set( ‘memory_limit’, apply_filters( ‘admin_memory_limit’, WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT ) );

Dashboard loads. This is a poor and temporary solution, but it does give you access to the backend.

Hosting my own thx. Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) 262144 / 1024 = 256k
My php.ini mem limit is set to 128M, in default_constants.php WP mem is set to 64M.

Nowhere is 256k set as a limit, yet the error displays it as a limit that is being violated.

50% of the ram and 100% of the swap space on the server is available so what gives?

WP is oddly silent on this issue. Even a little hope would be good. I want to know where is the 256k limitation is coming from…
