Hey everyone,

When i try to install a skin i get this error:


What does this mean,
I am getting this error since yesterday and i have never had it before

It means your script is using too much memory...

In more technical terms, it says you exceeded the memory limit set in PHP, which is 8mb. To avoid this error, either use a not so extensive script [recommended], or set the memory limit to a higher value, i.e. 16mb, by putting the code below in an .htaccess file somewhere in your directories.

What script is installed on your server anyway?

Well, yeah, you can try that .htaccess but I advise to split the script

I had the same error. Except I haven't changed my scripts in the last three months and my website was fine before.

Where is the .htaccess file? I am pretty sure I had one. I can't split my scripts, I have drupal and they are pre-defined.

Thanks

It somewhere in your directories. Try to look for Drupals installation folder and look for one, then increase the limit with a reasonable increment [1mb would be fine, the 16mb above is an exaggeration].

basicly, increasing memory limit is temporary solution, you might get the same error next time.

@Afghano4Life:
- plz submit your script here, esp. 10 lines before/after

@cat :
the size of program wont affect to this error. i ever got this just because of bad looping. so like efrens said, its about how your script use memory.
variables and loop could be the major cause

@doudou :
plz contact drupal developer team and submit the exact error u got. 8M for PHP is very LARGE, most program should fine, run in that amount of memory.

IMHO,
its major bug, and i might call this as a mistake rather than error. if you increase the memory limit, this will also slow down the whole system, since PHP run in system space NOT user space.

Thank you! This allowed me to install WP-United!

Ahh I see now how you're getting too much memory.

I expect it from WP-United. It's interpreting every phpBB function for Word Press compatibility that's why.
