Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted While Upgrading WordPress
11th Sep 2009 | Posted by reza | 27 CommentsWhile upgrading my wordpress version, few days ago, i received error messages that stating “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted…bla bla”.
After googling for the solution, i found out that this error happened when execution of a php file exceed allowed php memory on the server. In my case, the allowed php memory is 33554432 bytes (32 Mb).

The idea to solve the problem is increasing that allowed php memory. Google came with some solutions, but this was the solution i chose and it worked like charm:
Open wp-config.php file and added line
ini_set("memory_limit","128M");
to the top of that wp-config.php file, right after “<?php” line(wp-config.php file could be found in the root installation folder, i.e. /public_html folder).
This increased allowed php memory to 128 Mb.
I re-tried upgrading my wordpress and the error messages gone. Thanks God.

bandsxbands says: My friend and I were recently discussing about how we as a society are so hooked onto electronics. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don’t mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside… I just hope that as technology further innovates, the possibility of uploading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It’s one of the things I really wish I could encounter in my lifetime.

I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our world, and I think it is safe to say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don’t mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside… I just hope that as the price of memory falls, the possibility of downloading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It’s a fantasy that I daydream about every once in a while.

I’m in a love/hate relationship with virtual memory because of how prices are always,and I mean always falling. I absolutely hate buying SD Cards for my R4 / R4i at (what seems to be) a bargain price only to see it become 10% cheaper a few weeks later.(Submitted by Nintendo DS running [url=http://cryst4lxbands.livejournal.com/398.html]R4i[/url] BB)

Isn’t this memory limit also dependent on who your host provider is? I use 1and1 with shared hosting which caps the limit. I am hoping to change providers soon because of the memory limit.
I would like to know your insight to this.
Wicked site by the way. Extremely well done all around including your theme designs.

yep, as far as i know, the script also depents on host provider
but the script is very easy to implement, so no reason not to try it
