I run several joomla sites from a dedicated server. Suddenly, one day, this started showing up whenever I tried to install a template from a TGZ - on every site!
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/websites/demo.eyelinegolf.com/includes/domit/xml_domit_lite_parser.php on line 135
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16 bytes) in /home/websites/demo.eyelinegolf.com/includes/PEAR/PEAR.php on line 766
Does this mean that something on my server is messed up? Or did I manage to mess up all of my joomla installations?
Thanks so much,

Are all the sites on the same server?
Sounds like a server snafu... you ought to contact your web host, maybe they need to allocate you more php memory.

Right. On my local host, I had to add a line in my php.ini file to give php some more memory. The templates that have lots of styles associated tend to have a lot more graphics files and give php some headaches.
Alternatively, you can figure out which styles you DON'T want to use and delete the corresponding styles from the tgz file you're trying to upload. That seems to work too.

How much memory should I give PHP? 16? 32? 64?!?

So I gave PHP 16MB, and the new template install still doesn't work. Different behavior this time, but still bizarre.
Now, after I click "upload," I wait several seconds, and then a download window pops up asking if I want to download "index2.php." If I click yes, the download fails and the install screen doesn't change - it just sits there and says "done." If I click no, the install screen still doesn't change. If I check my site templates, Versatility III still isn't uploaded.
Weird.

So I manually uploaded 3 instances of colormatic (to use different colors for different pages) and now just trying to get to my template manager is giving me a similar error message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16 bytes) in /home/websites/eyelinegolf.com/includes/domit/xml_domit_lite_parser.php on line 1310
After changing the php.ini, I restarted Apache. Is there anything else I have to do to implement my changes?
Thanks,
T

- Not sure why some servers have issues with this, but I think your issue is the template_details.xml file. Remove all the <filename></filename> elements for the styles you are not using, then you will be able to access the template manager.

You know, I think I've been a doofus - I think I needed to change the PHP allocation in the .htaccess file, not the php.ini file. :-/ I'll give it a shot and let people know. Thanks, Andy!

My first problem, is that I was inserting "php_value memory_limit 16M" into php.ini, not .htaccess. I've since tried 32M and 64M, but nothing happens. Where should .htaccess be? At the root of all my sites? At the root of each individual site?
In any case, I still can't upload templates (it takes a while and then asks me if I want to download index2.php, then does nothing)
Furthermore, I can't get into my template manager - I only see this message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 512 bytes) in /home/websites/eyelinegolf.com/includes/domit/xml_domit_lite_parser.php on line 135
I assume that because the memory size is 8388608, the change to my .htaccess isn't working. And yes, I've been restarting Apache each time I change or move it. What have I done?!?

Problems are all SOLVED in case anyone is interested:
If you can, up your PHP memory using php.ini. But the code is different from what I was told. It's actually:
memory_limit = 16M
(Or 32M, or 64M, or whatever)
If you don't have access to php.ini, up your memory using your .htaccess file. THAT was the code that I tried to stick into php.ini. Still, I've since tried it in .htaccess and it didn't work for me:
php_value memory_limit 16M
although presumably it does the same thing as the first.
Have a good one!
