Fatal error: Allowed memory size

[Pierce]

I upgraded my forum from 4 to 5 and I am getting the following error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 523800 bytes) in /mysiteURL/vb5/core/vb/api/wrapper.php on line 1759

I have increased my php memory_limit in my Plesk Panel to 16M, 32M and 128MB but nothing has seemed to work. I did not get this issue in 4. Is there something else I need to check? I do have a rather large forum. Thanks in advance.

Did the upgrade complete? If so when are you getting this error?

Try upping to 256M, I'm surprised VB4 worked with 16M.

Do you have a lot (hundreds?) of banned IP addresses listed in Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> User Banning Options? If so remove them before upgrading.

The upgrade completed fine. I get this error whenever I try to view the index of the forum or the admincp. I have increased the memory limit to 256M but get the same error. I have also increased it to 512M but when I do that the site doesn't even load. I get the error No Data Received (Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data) in Chrome and I also just get a blank or no page at all in other browsers.

I do have some banned IP addresses but only about 20-30.

Any help is appreciated.

Anything in your error_logs (if you don't know where they are, ask your host)?

Can you Clear the System Cache - http://your.site.url/admincp/misc.php?do=clear_cache

So I was able to install a new install of Vb5 with a new empty database and it ran fine. Once I try to point to the upgraded vb5 database it doesn't work. So it seems something isn't correct withthe database. Any ideas.

[Pierce]

The biggest differences I have noticed in my databases are the type. Vb5 is InnoDB and the upgraded VB5 database is MyISAM.

I don't think the type of tables is going to make a difference.

Is your forum turned back on or is it still off after the upgrade?

I ended up reverting to vb4.2 for now and everything is working properly. I am going to try a dev environment with the same 4.2 Database and try installing VB5. If all works well I will try it on production. Thanks for the help.
