Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted - on line 117

Hi

Just a quick question - I did the upgrade to 3.7.3 patch level one 2 days ago - and since then if you go click on the link that says 'forum leaders' I get this error

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 42 bytes) in /home/contest/public_html/showgroups.php on line 117

Is this something to do with memory size, as in I should contact my webhost manager, or is it an error I can fix in vbulletin? and if so does any one know what I should do to fix it?

Thanks

Your PHP does not have enough memory allocated to it to complete this operation. Ask your host to increase the 'memory_limit' variable in php.ini to at least 64M.

To temporarily up your limits edit your includes/config.php file and add these lines right under the <?php line:

ini_set('memory_limit', 64 * 1024 * 1024);

Awesome thanks heaps for your fast reply Steve

Hey cool - got the web host to change it and now it's working - but how come when I click on forum leaders it brings up showgroups.php - and shows all the users on my site - not just the top posters - is there something I can do to fix that?

Thanks

You need to set this to 'No' for any groups you do not want on that page:

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup -> Viewable on Show Groups

Oh cool - thanks for that Steve

Same problem here.
Tried the above.

I also tried adding
php_value memory_limit 64M in my htaccess file.

Viewing my php info
memory_limit
local value 67108864
master value 32M

The showgroups.php page is not ment to show all of the users in the forum, it was designed to show off several groups of staff or important members. It can be a pretty stressing script if too many users and groups are shown on the page.
