Upgrade to 3.6.1 fatal error

  • Hello:

    I am trying to upgrade to 3.6.1. from 2.9.2 using the automatic option. I am getting this response:

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4475881 bytes) in /data/22/2/10/106/2010432/user/2199582/htdocs/BRAVOVideos/wp-includes/http.php on line 1363

    Does anyone know what this means?

    This is the site address https://www.bravoremote.com/BRAVOVideos.

    Thank you.

  • This means PHP is trying to use more memory than it’s allowed to use (the maximum amount of memory a script may consume). You’ll need to increase the amount of memory that PHP can use and how you do this will depend a bit on your hosting.

    From the look of it, you probably have a 32M limit. If you can increase that 64M, that should get you going.

    Here are the things you can try yourself (and only one needs to be done. Which one works, if any, will as I said depend on your hosting situation). I generally try in this order:

    In php.ini, update memory_limit to this:
    memory_limit = 64M;

    or

    Add this line to .htaccess:
    php_value memory_limit 64M

    or

    Add this line to wp-config.php:
    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M')

    If none of these work, then you’ll need to contact your hosting provider.

    You may also try disabling all your plugins before doing the upgrade, though 32M is pretty low. I’ve found that I generally need at least 64M, and I’ll set it to 128M if I can.

    Thanks so much. I will try these and report back.
