Yes, I use the service of the hosting company and I'm "the client". :) Also, I have (some) knowledge of what php.ini is and what I can/have/dare to change. And it's not first time I had "conflict" with "limited memory" and every time I knew what caused and how to fix it. Also, the app is not written by me, it's Gallery2 (http://www.gallery2.org/) and they "can't" do wrong code :) Though, what if "some guy" signed up for an account, installed Gallery or Joomla or Drupal through Fantastico and - got his message? of course, support will help him (do it for him) to edit php.ini, but it shouldn't happen at the first time, right? And, as I said, I don't want to make a big deal for hosting company because they are good and this is first time something came up. Just want to know why happened, what caused the error. -afan > > > > -- > Stephen Johnson c | eh > The Lone Coder > > http://www.thelonecoder.com > continuing the struggle against bad code > > http://www.thumbnailresume.com > -- > > > > >> From: afan pasalic <afan@xxxxxxxx> >> Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 12:37:07 -0500 >> To: php-general <php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> Subject: Why I sart getting "Fatal error: Allowed memory size..." after >> php upgrade? >> >> The hosting company I have one account (and several Add Domains) >> upgraded php on the server from 4.4.7 to 5.2.5.
