Fatal error

Hi David,
I'm trying to send a PM but when I click send I get this message
Code: Select all
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 5 bytes) in /home/sites/poem-n-verse.co.uk/public_html/includes/utf/data/utf_compatibility_decomp.php on line 2
I downloded utf_compatibility_decomp.php in to Notepad++ but all I see is one long line like this, only copied and pasted the first bit.
Code: Select all
<?php
$GLOBALS['utf_compatibility_decomp']=array(' '=>' ','¨'=>' ̈','ª'=>'a','¯'=>' ̄','²'=>'2','³'=>
What does it mean and how do I overcome the problem?
Thanks
Graham

That's a server setting that's causing the error. I had a similar problem on one of my forums. The way I resolved it was by placing this in a .htaccess file locted in the forum's root:

Hi David,
Thanks for that, it's all working again now, must have been a glitch.
If it does it again I'll follow your advice and place an .htaccess file.
Thanks

Hi David
It's started again, where is the .htaccess file located I've turned on show hidden files but still can not find it.
Do I need to create one? and if I do where do I put it and is it just a txt file?
Thanks
Graham

If you don't see one in your forum's root folder then just create one in notepad. Simply add the code I posted above and save as .htaccess (note that you may need to remove .txt from the file name). Then upload to your forum's root and that should take care of it.

Go to your System tab and into php info. What does memory_limit say there?

Doesn't look like they allow you to override that value... your host is going to be the one to allow it then...
