Can’t install Buddypress coz of memory limit on my server. WHAT TO DO???
-
I’m trying to install Buddypress. When clicking “activate”, I get this error message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile.php on line 923
I understand exactly what it means. I see that many people on the support forum have similar issues. I have kindly asked my host, but they will not increase the memory limit!
So now I kindly ask Buddypress developers: any chance you could reduce the memory usage? I bet that many hosting companies won’t allow a higher memory limit. 32mb is quite a lot of memory.
1. Which version of WP/MU are you running?
WordPress 2.9.22. Did you install WP/MU as a directory or subdomain install?
Directory3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?
Root4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WP/MU? If so, from which version?
Have upgraded many times. Don’t remember which wordpress version was the original install… maybe 2.85. Was WP/MU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting.
Yes6. Which version of BP are you running?
1.2.37. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?
No8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?
Yes, many.9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?
A custom theme10. Have you modified the core files in any way?
No11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?
No12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in?
Not running bbPress13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.

There are better ways of expressing the sentiments in your last post
read it back to yourself. BP and WPMU are not apps I would consider running on what I presume is shared hosting, in fact if I had a shared hosting account trotting along nicely and I found out that the host was allowing people to run sites built on BP I would be off like a shot rather than hang around waiting for the inevitable server loads to become intolerable. I agree 64MB is a lot of script memory for php to need but the fact that WP might run in 32MB is neither here nor there BP is a much more intensive app, more than simply a plugin extension or WP. HAving said all that I maintain my own linux VDS for testing various work and sites on and that has the script memory limit set to 32MB and is happily running a full installation of WPMU + BP and a few plugins, it isn’t a active site though and it’s a dedicated server not shared hosting with many accounts consuming resources which I would guess is why you are immediately running into issues.
BP is best run on a dedicated server or virtual dedicated, that sadly is about all that can be said n the matter, perhaps not ideal from your point of view, but why not change to a VDS? they can be found for a good monthly price.
I’m sure there are, i was in a hurry and i really didn’t want this tread to be a discussion about how much memory is “alot” or not.
Anyway, i checked dedicated server thing and that would mean that my server hosting costs will increase at least x12!
that’s not optimal for me eighter. But i’ll look further for other solutions, thanks!yes! that worked!!
Activation went smooth and then I re-activated the other plugins. After that I installed bbpress and that worked as well… but NOW most of the pages in the admin panel (such as plugins, posts, pages, media… ) are just blank. ;/ i guess i pushed my luck there and should have activated one plugin at a time… any suggestions anyone?
