“Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted”

Assuming you expanded the amount memory available to PHP to fix this.

If not, please correct me.

I host with MediaTemple, so they let me change my own PHP.INI file. Some hosts don’t, and will limit your memory limit allowed for php calls. If you can edit your php.ini, add this.

memory_limit 32M

Then, add this to your .htaccess file.

php_value memory_limit 32M

This fixed that error for me.

This is a stubborn problem. I faced it a couple of times before too. You can check this page for the solution:
