Hi there,
I tryied many times to install silverstripe on unix server but I allway get fatal errors:

Installing SilverStripe...
I am now running through the installation steps (this should take about 30 seconds)

If you receive a fatal error, refresh this page to continue the installation

Creating 'mysite/_config.php'...
Creating '.htaccess' file...
Building database schema...
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 232 bytes) in /home/vinzenzf/public_html/bb/sapphire/forms/LookupField.php on line 44

I do not have any idea. Could someone help me out with this issue?

Thx

Vinzenz

You have not set the memory limit high enough for installation. The docs suggest 32mb but for resource intensive process's (like installing) this is usually not enough. If you up the memory limit to 48 or 64mb it should install fine. I run all my SS Sites with 128mb and they still run out of memory sometimes.

This is a known issue and it is down for investigation in for the future releases.

Im also getting this message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4864 bytes) in /customers/memaa.net/memaa.net/httpd.www/silverstripe/sapphire/forms/CustomRequiredFields.php on line 14

I can't edit php.ini because the host will not allow it, but i've tried to pu "ini_set('memory_limit', '64M');" in the top of install.php and sapphire/main.php.

Is there something i've forgot?

Hi Blake,
i could fine a solution to my problem...you have you change setting in the php.ini file and copy it in the root.
Hovewer it youl be nice if there is a php.ini file set up with the right settings for silverstripe, maybe someone else have a nice file. It works but i still have 2 little error but everything works right but I would like to solve them.
Some ideas???

Vinz

vinz - but i still have 2 little error.

what are these errors?

Blake - Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4864 bytes) in

Means that you only have 16mb of memory, your host has probably disabled ini_set feature of php. Check with your host for the best way to up the memory to 32mb+

Hey,

I have the same problem.

The hosting provider increased the php memory limit 32MB (for shared hosting they can't provide more than that - answer from support)

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 232 bytes) in ............./test/sapphire/forms/NoScriptField.php on line 14

Though the server requirements says at leasts 32MB it doesn't work
At leasts should mean that it works with this minimum requirements!

Any idea how to fix this problem? I can't request more memory, and my customer wouldn't change the hosting provider :-(

Thank you

Mario

Hello my Provider is in the Memory Limit better my phpinfo says

memory_limit 64M

perhaps change the Provider !!!

stooni!!!
