Fatal error when trying to PM

[Alán Ortiz]

Hello moderators - please delete this post if its in the wrong place, but I can't seem to PM anyone anymore. Whenever I attempt to PM I get the following message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2966399 bytes) in /home/dvxuser/public_html/V6/includes/class_core.php on line 5658


This error happens on both Firefox, safari and IE (latest version of all software) and occurs on both secure and unsecure connections.

Any help you can offer would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I am on Firefox.......I just sent you a PM to test, mine seems to have went through.

Database memory storage issue... Does it still happen? Sometime it's temporary from too many users. But looks like the DVXUsers could use a RAM upgrade... or it maybe a software setting issue in the php.ini settings. Judging by the bytes listed it's probably a php.ini issue, unless the the DVXUser server only has 32 MB of RAM.

I think we have 6 gig on the current server config for dvxuser.

I'm looking into this, but cannot reproduce, and no one else has ever reported. So, could have been temporary... or, maybe you were trying to send a large attachment? Though, attachments are setup to be stored as files, not part of the db, so I'm not sure.

Let me know if you were trying to send a large attachment, and if so, what type of attachment, and how large. And, let me know if you are still having hte issue (with just a vanilla pm)

looking into it right now though.

ok. made some tweaks. let me know if you are still having this issue...

Doc/Jason - whatever you did seems to have fixed it! Not sure why I was receiving the error, but if it helps I wasn't trying to send an attachment - just PM folks on the forums. I've been receiving that error for about 3 months now; got tired of being unable to have "private" conversations. Thank you much!

Errr - sorry to be such a nuisance but the error is back.... Can't figure out what the deal is.

"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2966399 bytes) in /home/dvxuser/public_html/V6/includes/class_core.php on line 5658"

Yes. But it usually isn't about how much memory is physically on the server in question, which these days is usually considerable, but how much of that memory has actually been allocated to php which of course is done in php.ini.

The default configuration settings for php.ini are usually minimal and almost always need changing for the real world of actually running your environment.

Right, that what I was trying to get at... guess I didn't make it clear enough. This part: "unless the the DVXUser server only has 32 MB of RAM." was meant with a bit of sarcasm.
