Some hosts allow the PHP memory limit to be changed via .htaccess, or via a WordPress configuration (see this). I don’t know about your specific host — I suggest contacting them and ask to increase the limit to 96Mb (as you appear to be already on 64Mb).
Before you do that, however, check in your web server’s error log for any warnings which are generated when you try to activate BuddyPress. Is there anything in there?
I can’t seem to find the error log in the control panel or in my website file directories. If you don’t mind me asking, what exactly am I looking for?
Okay, I finally got the debug running. Here are the errors.
Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /www/zxq.net/s/e/m/semperfortis/htdocs/wp-includes/load.php on line 265
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /www/zxq.net/s/e/m/semperfortis/htdocs/wp-includes/load.php:265) in /www/zxq.net/s/e/m/semperfortis/htdocs/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 890

You probably use too much plugins.
Deactivate all of them and reactivate BP first and see if you already have the warnings
Thanks Chouf1, but it didn’t work even without plugins. Oh and I didn’t know about whitespace errors! However, I checked through it all and there was no space, only a
ini_set( ‘display_errors’, 1 );
at 265 of load.php.
I refreshed the page and now it gives me many “Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated” warnings on countless files, but here’s an example of the two types:
Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of apply_filters(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in /www/zxq.net/s/e/m/semperfortis/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core.php on line 562
Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /www/zxq.net/s/e/m/semperfortis/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-classes.php on line 228
Do I really have to go through every single file and make the fixes or is there an easier way to go about this? Also, the header errors are nowhere to be found now, only when I first startup the BP plugin.
white space errors are generally at the end of a php file. After the ending tag ? > there must be NO line
