  • Right idea about bumping up the memory_limit. Probably wrong place though. Try within your server’s php.ini file. You may have to get with your host to do so.

    thanks for the reply… and so, i contacted my host about the php.ini file, and here’s the reply i received…

    I do believe the 2 ways of making PHP modifications are confusing the situation. In some server environments, it is possible to alter PHP settings by creating a php.ini file within your root directory. With the type of server environment we have, you need to alter the PHP settings within a .htaccess file. It is not possible to have both edited. A custom php.ini does not work in our server environment, and a .htaccess file does not work in an environment that uses custom php.ini to alter PHP settings. The only way to alter PHP settings on our server is via a .htaccess file, which is what we have done.

    does this make sense?

    thanks, drew
