SOLVED Fatal Error: memory allocation in latest templates
Posted 12 years 6 months ago
Hi, everyone. I came up against an issue while trying to install 4 of the latest Joomla 2.5 templates from Rockettheme. The templates were:
Graffito
Fracture
Kirigami
Ximenia
after installation, on trying to open site I was receiving this message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes)
I bought the hosting packages off CrazyDomains and it appears they only allocate 32 meg of memory for each account. I could have gone through the (long) process of calling them, getting more memory assigned to the package etc but if you have ever dealt with 'crazy' you know the phone waiting time anyway after a little searching around I found this simple solution.
1. Create a php.ini file in public_html folder
2. enter this: memory_limit = 256M ; in the file... save, refresh and the template opened fine.
Many of you will already know what to do but I thought for the newbies coming across this issue it would be helpful.
Cheers
