Same error here but from

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72865 bytes) in /home/username/public_html/blog/wp-includes/cache.php on line 48

Host advised me to create php.ini in blog folder root with
” memory_limit = xyzM ” where xyz = amount of memory

Didn’t work

Still get the same error, WP either ignoring the php.ini or some other issue – clueless & lost now.

(WP version = 2.2.3 and no, not going to upgrade while I have a problem like this otherwise it could compound the error in the upgraded version)

Any ideas anyone

Thanks Rosie …. but eek!

Regarding the fix – my reply on the thread you pointed to says it all.

Regarding the back up – it looks like a terrifying task, especially when it starts waffling about anti-spam etc swelling the database and needing to not be backed up.

It’s 5am here and maybe I’m too tired – I’ll look again in the morning after some sleep

Thanks again
Ed

moshu – thanks for the answer, but no need for the sarcasm

Like sado, I too have been having this issue, but with line 28 of cache.php

I found over 200 posts addressing the issue – all of them arguing the ins and outs of whether this or that form of php command should be kept in the file or changed out for something else, and whether it was specific to php 5.2 or not and so on and so on

None of which actually told me what the heck to do about getting my installation back up and running. Everything I found was at bug fixing reversioning level or whatever the heck its called.

Now someone else has pointed me at your answer – I’m still stumped.

Increase php memory size? errrr …. bung some more ram modules in the server? decrease the graphics card shared ram to allow more for the OS?

Please remember not everyone using wordpress is a software developer, even if some of us do design WAN’s for a living. The reason some of us use wordpress at all is because of it’s 2 minute install and tech-free maintenance (normally).

Therefore short tempered and curt “solutions” are not answers.

…. stomps off to find someone with communication skills and empathy for people who don’t write applications in their sleep
