5 - Out of memory (Needed 1046544 bytes)

[shirley]

Folks, I am installing this store on www.glendacasongallery.com/store/catalog/
The programs have been running fine for days.
Now this morning I started getting these errors.
I restored to last week's data, no good.
I re-uploaded the oringinal files I was changing, no good.
For awhile I could see my store page, no more.
I've studied the forums and php til I can't see.
Please, can I get an answer. Tell me where to go
to get help. I run on netfirms.com servers, a pre existing condition.
I don't understand about setting php memory limits higher.
I assume that would require apache work on the providers part.
I restored the files from the zip download I started with.
Can you or Netfirms help?

Most likely you turned on the old osc cache system. Login to admin and turn off the cache under

configuration >> cache >> use cache >> False

CacheTitleValueAction Use Cachefalse Cache Directory/tmp/
Sound right but it was already off - any other ideas?

Any way to flush the cache data that might be left over from someone else?
I don't need their shared ssl yet, might that be suspect?

Check your SEO Urls setting. If you have a lot of products, this can also cause out of memory errors. Clear the seo url cache. You can also try turning off SEO URLS in the admin. If the site loads, you know that is the problem.

Enable Seo URL validation? false

Title Value Action Enable SEO URLs? false
Add cPath to product URLs? true (must have this one)
Add category parent to begining of URLs? false
Filter Short Words 3
Output W3C valid URLs (parameter string)? false
Enable SEO cache to save queries? false
Enable product cache? true
Enable categories cache? true
Enable manufacturers cache? true
Enable articles cache? true
Enable topics cache? true
Enable information cache? true
Enable automatic redirects? false
Choose URL Rewrite Type Rewrite
Enter special character conversions
Remove all non-alphanumeric characters? false
Reset SEO URLs Cache false

Should everything above be set to "no cache"?
Appreciate the help. The site has worked all day since in came back up with no changes on my part. i'm just worried that it will continue.

It could just be that another site on the server was consuming all the resources and there was actually no ram left. If it started and stopped with no changes, I would bet that another process was causing the issue, but it usually means that your php process exceeded the max memory consumption allowed for a php process.

can i assume that a php page run amuk can eat up memory real fast?
should I wait for the next occurrence? i had 2 emails saying /whut's happen'.

How can i reset the amount of memory i need?

You need access to the php.ini and possibly the httpd.conf for apache. If you are on your own dedicated server, just edit those files, looking for the memory limiting directives. In php.ini it is typically memory_limit that you are concerned with. Don't make it too large if you are on a memory sparse system, as it will cause php to fail.

I only have about 100 images (reused some) of pictures and run on a netfirms.com computer (forget about apache updates?).

This seems like a tiny number of items. I have had no problems since yesterday morning. Seems I'm stuck between a rock and netfirms.
Any final thoughts on what direction I should take?
Maybe netfirms had maintenance going on
Move server? Just wait and see?
Again, I thank you for help.
