Hi Swaiba,

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by a lot of members. Could you explain it for me. I have the dumb today :)

Member = person who can "log in" to silverstripe would be listed under "Security" section of the admin system

I've only got 3 members, 1 admin and 2 content authors

Could it have anything to do with my config or htaccess files?

these other warnings have popped up in the meantime

not members then!

I couldn't tell what is causing the memory problems
you now have 3 options...

1)contact your host and hope they are helpful

2)debug the code yourself - if you find it AND you have a recent version of PHP you can recover the situation - http://www.silverstripe.org/general-questions/show/16988

3)wait for the next forum member to help you out

best of luck to you!

I'll give option 1 a shot and hope option 3 is a goer cause I wouldn't know where to start with option 2 :)

Thanks Swaiba

Just curious about the http://www.mysite.com/Preview/admin?flush=1 link I see in your post. You really should never have to use ?flush=1 from the admin section, since it rebuilds the SilverStripe cache and that does actually cost a lot of memory -especially if you do it all the time...

The only time you need to use ?flush=1 is if you've changed some template and want to have SilverStripe acknowledge the change - preferrably from the frontend!

Also: the admin does keep a connection with the server, as it sends out a ping every three minutes or so, I noticed. That could even have something to do with it - though I wouldn't know why :-( Are you using SSL? Could that be a problem?

Hi Guys,

Thanks Martimiz, I'll make sure I'm not using ?flush=1 in the admin anymore. Also good to know that admin keeps a coonection with the server. I didn't realise this.

Swaiba, I went with option 1 and the hosting company said to put

php_value memory_limit 150M
php_value max_execution_time 120

into the htaccess file.
It seems to have worked so far so I'm going to call this one solved :)

Thanks for the help guys
