CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Ever since migrating to a new host, almost any action I try to take within CiviCRM results in a Fatal Memory Error.  I recently transferred my account from one host to another, and everything went more-or-less smoothly (besides an array_key_exists() warning, which was solved using these forums!).

I've been searching google and the Civi Forums feverishly for a while now (I hate reposting questions that have already been solved), but haven't found any that help.  So, here it goes:

Stats:
     Drupal: 5.2
     CiviCRM: CiviCRM 1.9.11960

Host:
    Shared - Static IP
    PHP: 5.2.5
    MySQL: 5.0.37
    PHPMemory: 32MB

I can access the CiviCRM administer pages fine, and do a number of tasks, but many other components including: doing any type of search, Clicking on CiviMember, Clicking on CiviEvent, Clicking on Import, all throw me fatal memory errors.  The errors also point to a number of different files:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/sbdporg/public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/Smarty/internals/core.write_file.php on line 43

Just to name a few.  I've spoken with my host, and of course they say it's a problem with the Civi module.  Unfortunately I can't increase the memory allocation, but I don't think that's the problem.  My tables are still very small (I only have about 10 contacts), and I'm not trying to do any operations that should be memory intensive.

This problem just cropped up after I changed hosting accounts, and everything worked fine on the previous account.  The files and database should be the same, I don't know what else it could be.  Permissions might not have carried over; permissions issue maybe?

If you have any ideas PLEASE let me know.  I'll try anything!  Thank you so much!

EDIT:

I just created a duplicate test site, so I could run all tests without taking down the main site.  Interestingly enough, when I first install it, and receive all of the array_key_exists() warnings, everything else works (including search, civimember, etc.), and I get no memory errors, but when I reset the civicrm_domain.config_backend value in the MySQL database, the errors go away, but the memory errors begin. 

Not sure if this helps, but I thought it was interesting.

whats the memory usage when u goto the basic search page, or just any civicrm page? i suspect it will be the same as the advanced search page. This is normal memory usage, would be great to cut this down significantly. However it will probably be time consuming etc. A patch / code to figure out where most memory is consumed and how to reduce it would be highly appreciated
