  • I think your php settings have a memory limit which this file is exceeding.

    Check your php.ini file and edit the line that looks like this.

    memory_limit = 64M;

    Be careful though, as if you’re using shared hosting your hosting company may limit how hight this can go. Try increasing it a few megs and see if that fixes it.

    Thanks for the message.

    Sure enough, I did find out I have a limit (they said I can go up to 128M).

    But I don’t have a php.ini file. Checked everywhere, but no php.ini

    How do I create one?

    Thanks,

    You will need to ask your hosting provider. Some provide a file which you can edit. Some allow you to create a php.ini of your own and it will meld the info with existing php.ini file.

    You may not be able to see a php.ini file in your file structure, but rest assured it’s there somewhere.
