When trying to install new plugins on my installation of Serendipity 1.4.1, I always get this error. What should I do?

Hi!

That means, serendipity does not have enough memory to add new installs. You either need to remove some event plugins, or ask your server provider if he can raise your limit?

Thanks. Maybe putting up a message saying exactly would be a nice idea ...

Hi!

Sadly, when the memory is used up, PHP has a fatal error already, and no PHP script can catch that. We can'T really calculate how much RAM will be utilized, so we can't intercept it...

Will uninstalling event plugins cause them to delete data stored by them?
Will I be able to reinstall event plugins without data loss?

That depends on the plugin. Most plugins do not delete data, but some do.
