install problem 4.1

  • Hi,

    I’m trying to install 4.1 … following the install process I enter the MySQL details and click for the next step….and get this:

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 138 bytes) in /web/sites/_c/_o/_n/mysite.co.uk/public/www/cp/wp-includes/pomo/streams.php on line 71

    Any idea what the problem is here?

    thanks

    thanks for the tip, Tara.

    However, there is no ‘define WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’ in the sample config file in the 4.1 distro.

    Remember, I can’t complete the install process due to this…. so I haven’t reached an admin panel where I can set it ??

    If you are doing a manual install you could just add the line

    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

    to the wp-config file or try contacting your host and ask them to increase the php memory limit via the php.ini file.

    thanks, Keith.

    I have in the meanwhile contacted my host and indeed been directed to the php.ini file which I managed to change to 64M… and it worked fine then!

    That line will be useful to know, though, as I believe that would allow WordPress alone to use more memory without having to change allowance for my whole server space.

    Thanks for your help.
