Can't get wp to install!

**Twist3d** · January 2nd, 2008, 3:41 PM

I am trying to migrate my old wordpress install over to this host but I keep getting this error when I try.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 10485760 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/twist3d/public_html/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 557

I figured since that won't work I will try a new install. So I try a new install and then I get to step 2. nothing happens! So i hit refresh and i get this error!

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 10485760 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home/twist3d/public_html/blog/wp-admin/includes/schema.php on line 238

So my question is this. Why am i getting these errors. It appears to me that I can't migrate Wordpress over here nor can I do a fresh install without errors! I had no problems with this software on my old host.

What i really want to do is migrate my old blog over here so i don't lose my posts and such.

Any ideas?

"Memory for WP, like any PHP app, is configured via php.ini. The default for max mem tends to be 8MB. You'll need to up that. Some plug-in can also have to do with it, as some ask for more memory then usual."

If anything, I would submit a ticket to support in regards to this situation. =)

Well i'm not sure how jsut copying files over, and reimporting the database and changing the config.php file would require so much memory.

Basically i'm just reinstalling it via a copy from my old server. Same domain name, same everything except the database name starts differently.

I have submitted a ticket to support already as well.

How did you fix it? =) Glad that you got it to work.

What server are you on (shared, reseller, etc.)?

I'm wondering if I should contact support about it too. I got that error a few days ago and everything seems fine now.

I made a file called php.ini and put the following information in it and then uploaded it to the problem folder. for me it was the wp_include folder.

memory_limit = 100M

I am on a shared server currently. I wanted to go reseller but I don't have enough time to try to run a business on the side yet.

I do WP installs regularly and have never encountered your problem thankfully. I am on a reseller account and installing for customers.
