Memory Error

[pushthepixel]

I get this when I click on the Shop button in VM 2.0.8c. Didn't happen earlier.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 25165824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2346 bytes) in /homepages/42/d195597686/htdocs/ptp/clients/beaches/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/img2thumb.php on line 132


Any ideas?

Hi pushthepixel,

Yeah I used to get those all the time. Basically your hosting space allocates a certain amount of memory for each website/application so that all websites get equal share to system resources.

Looks like you're trying to dynamically generate an image into a thumbnail but running out of memory to do so.

Have you tried to reduce the file size/dimension of the original image? Give that a go and see if the error disappears.

I hope this helps.

Thanks so much for the help. Unfortunately, I still have the issue.

I've moved the site to its own hosting package rather than having it share space on mine. Its the only site on this particular hosting package.

When I go into the admin, go to virtuemart, and click on SHOP, I get this:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 25165824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9384 bytes) in /homepages/9/d417287488/htdocs/beaches/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/img2thumb.php on line 132

Sigh. I fixed it.

The biggest problem with website design, even outside of Joomla? The goddam clients.

They uploaded a file for the store logo thats about 2349083242 pixels across and a billion GBs.

Sigh.
