Serendipity running slow/not responding

[guy]

I've had a good install of s9y for a while now, but as of today, when i go into settings or try to even load the website, it takes at least 5 minutes if it even loads at all. I know it is not my connection, or even my website, as i can download/load other pages normal speed, and the wiki section of my website is up. Also my server reports no problems or errors in the log.

I have a feeling it has to do with the styles, as it was fine until i tried to change it. No errors however. What could cause this sudden slowdown making it unusable?

Hi!

Have you talked to your provider? The database could be misfunctioning.

sorry for not replying,i just never got around to getting into the admin controls.

now i get this :Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9 bytes) in /home/law/public_html/s9y/plugins/serendipity_event_spartacus/serendipity_event_spartacus.php on line 610



is this def a provider issue now?

Sorta. That means that your PHP installation isn't configured with enough memory: SPARTACUS is running out of memory while it tries to initialize.

If you have access to your php.ini, set memory_limit to 32M (or at least, something bigger than 8M).

If you don't have access to php.ini, some providers will allow you to set the memory limit in your .htaccess file. (Back it up first, so you can restore it if there are any problems!) You can *try* changing the value in .htaccess with:

Code: Select all

php_value memory_limit "32M"

Otherwise, you'll have to contact the provider and ask them to increase you PHP memory limit.
