SpudFiles

ok, i was searching, and i typed in my search criteria then i clicked enter, and i got this:
"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) in /home/spudfile/public_html/forums/search.php on line 412"
i'm not a computer genius, but i think something's broken, i think it says there's only 83 gigs on the spudfiles server and that it's been completely used up

Hmm strange, it worked for me.

I'll ask PCGUY, if he doesn't see this first.

Same thing for me,just then.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 150075 bytes) in /home/spudfile/public_html/forums/search.php on line 726

Still good for me

I tried to use it before about 25 mins back and I thought it'd sought out soon but it's still doing it.

Are you searching through the advance search tool? Are you searching the whole forum or a certain section?

I was using Quick Search on the top right of the home page.

I've used that about four times today, all worked fine.

works fine for me too so i dunno wats up

this happens occasionally to functional PHP scripts when the memory requirements exceed the default 8MB limit. Google Results

adding to the server's php.ini file would change the requirements for all the PHP scripts.

or

adding to the top of an individual script would change it for just that script.


if you guys want a nice learning tool, you should download EasyPHP. its just your standard Apache,MySql,PHP combined into one tool. then download web applications(forums,blogs and such). it'll give you a much better understanding what goes on behind the net.

i use linux and most of this comes standard with each distrobution. a lot of neat things can be done AMP servers.

Hey it looks like we have a smart guy here 8)

Regardless thanks for letting me know about the error, I have to be very careful with memory limits since SpudFiles shares a server with other websites... if I take too much memory they will be mad!

OMG, it's pcguy!

So what kind of hardware does the server have and how many other sites run on it?

It runs on a quad core Intel Xeon processor, each core is 2.8ghz. The server also has 4 gigs of ram. I am not sure how many other sites are on the server, I don't control it.

My host tells me that I get to move to a more powerful server soon, but who knows when.

Wow, that's a pretty good server. Must be a lot of sites on it if they're that worried about you taking their memory.

do you know what other sites? just curious who shares space with SPUDFILES lol
