Cannot install

    Hi, I’m not able to install OSE through the dashboard. I’m getting a 500 error at the installation stage and not getting any further. I know OSE isn’t tested as compatible with WP-3.8.1, but I did have it successfully installed in a previous attempt, so I know its possible for my setup.

    I’ve tried a number of times to install directly from the dashboard using the internal search, and I’ve also tried installing by uploading the zip file from my computer, and in both ways I get the error and the plugin won’t install. It seems to me that there might be a problem when the zip is getting unpacked by WP.

    I’m not having any troubles installing any other plugins.

    Any ideas why this might be? Are there any settings or server configurations known to interfere with installation at such an early stage?

    Hi cherry856,

    We are very sorry that happened to you.
    Could you please change the php setting: memory_limit, change it to 512M, .e.g. in php.ini, add a line at the bottom of the php.ini file: memory_limit=512M.

    Hope all these help. ?? If you have any other questions, feel free to ask us.

    Best Wishes

    Hi, thank you for your prompt reply!

    I think I’m getting a sense of why I was, and then wasn’t, able to install OSE. I’m on a shared hosting account, and while my host says my ram is flexible, my memory monitor typically says I’ve only got 128MB total available and it rarely goes above. If you are indicating to allocate 512MB, then what probably is happening is when I was able to install OSE the server was able to allocate enough peak memory to allow the install, while the times the install failed I couldn’t get enough.

    That makes sense actually. Unfortunately I can’t control how much memory I’m allocated, so I guess I’ll just have to hope I catch a time when my neighbors sharing my server aren’t needing the ram…

    Thank you, all the best
    PS-I’m going to mark this as resolved, but if anyone else has any more ideas I’d be happy to hear of them ??
