Memory Allocation errors
December 09, 2008, 05:40:21 am
Hi,

I'm getting these messages

Doing a simple group search (maybe 150 records in the group) in the administrator

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 47 bytes) in /home/open/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Core/Component.php on line 197



After searching for a city the first time in a front end profile:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /home/open/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/packages/PEAR.php on line 872


Again, I don't like seeing this exposed in the front end ... but why is this happening? Is there some server issue I need to deal with?

your php memory is timing out. you need to increase this memory size. CiviCRM recommends 64M for your memory, but on many sites (mine included) you have to go even higher. find out what your memory is set right now (if you don't know how to do that, you can follow the quick instructions on this page: http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=479)

if it's not set at 64M yet, try that first. if it's already there or higher, increase or double it.

this is a very common thing; if you want to find out more about it and how it often affects civicrm, a simple google search will get you loads of results: http://www.google.com/search?q=civicrm+php+fatal+error+memory
