Serendipity Forums

I have done updates from 1.30 to 1.41 on two of our blogs.

The first update went fine.

The second one presented the "Hi, and welcome to the Serendipity upgrade agent."

But after: "Errors are displayed in red, recommendations in yellow and success in green."....there is nothing below the double line...no messages, no button to push to continue.

Input appreciated.

Hi!

That sounds like a fatal PHP error could be happening that is concealed from you. Try to enable "php_value display_errors On" through .htaccess, or check a PHP/CGI error log?

Hi Garvin:

I was able to run the file, and this is what it reported back. Is this helpful?

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 578451 bytes) in /home/user/www/website name/include/functions_installer.inc.php on line 1259

Thank you.

Yup, that's helpful.

PHP ran out of memory while it was trying to complete your installation. You should increase the amount of memory it can use by changing the line in your php.ini that reads "memory_limit = 8M" to "memory_limit = 16M".

If you can't find your php.ini, you might be able to add the following line in .htaccess:

I added the line to .htaccess. The installation ran flawlessly.

Thank you. That was impressive problem solving. Very direct and very informative.
