I’ve searched around these forum and keep coming across this problem but I can’t see a definitive answer.

At the moment I can’t post a new article or even access the article list.

If I add the php instruction, as suggested, in my .htaccess file the whole administration is inaccessible.

I’ve looked at configuration.php and there is no ini mem to amend.

Any suggestions?

You have to create a php.ini file on /public_html (if you are on linux cpanel) and then add the instruction to allocate more memory.

Are you using any third party mods or plugins ?

Sorry I don’t understand the answer.

I cannot find a folder/file public_html anywhere although I’m on a linux shared server.

I only have Joomla and JA plugins

The default directory on a linux – cPanel server is /public_html in order for your site to work.

So i guess you are already on the public_html dir, just in case of Plesk i suggest that you create your php.ini file where the configuration.php file is (same dir)

and place this line in php.ini file -> memory_limit = 32M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (32MB)

PS. You can try even 64M but i am not sure if your hoster will allow you to consume that amount of memory

Thanks for the reply but it doesn’t seem to work. I wasn’t sure of the line to put in but I’ve tried it with

-> memory_limit = 32M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (32MB)

memory_limit = 32M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (32MB)

Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (32MB)

Sorry for my ignorance

You should place [PHP]memory_limit = 32M[/PHP]

If this doesn’t work then you should contact your host

You will probably need to speak your host. Some allow you to increase available memory while others do not.

It might even be that you are trying to re-size images that are very large and this is using up a lot of memory on your server. It could be a third party component using too much memory. Either way your host should be able to look at the logs and help.
