Hi all,
I’m getting this error in my logs:

[Mon Oct 17 14:13:09 2011] [error] [client 173.245.53.221] PHP Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 54525952) (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/131945/webspace/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-admin/includes/functions.bb-admin.php on line 663

I’m not a sys admin, but does anyone have any thoughts
Cheers

Hi!

[@ewebber Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

Hey @djpaul – cheers, I’ll have a play – it’s currently set to 128mb, but clearly that’s not enough

[@ewebber Participant 13 years, 1 month ago]

In the process of increasing memory, but I seem to have a rouge plugin somewhere – time to upgrade everything and investigate

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 1 month ago]

Red plugins are the worse

@ewebber What type of hosting environment are you in?

If in a shared hosting environment, it could be that your web hosting provider is simply limiting the amount of memory that can be used by a single script. If this is the case, increasing the memory that WordPress can use won’t have too much effect as you’ll still be limited by your providers software configuration.

From my experience, most shared hosting providers limit memory to 32MB (some less…). With WordPress really working best with 64MB+, if this is the case, you’ll run into these errors quite often.

@ewebber Are you using a VPS, or shared?

I have the same issue I think. Just installed bp with wp yesterday through Godaddy hosting and I received this error today and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.

@socialupgrades Follow the link I posted in reply to the original post.

Quick update from me and my particular issue – I have moved my site and thrown a load of memory at it which works well in the short term, but there is a plugin conflict somewhere, I am going through an upgrade process before trying to work is out which is slow as it means a theme upgrade.
