Joomla and "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 78 bytes)"

Question

I have site on Joomla, which was installed from another server : I copied all files, transfered their to var/www and discovered. After this I add MySQL-dump from another server to new MySQL database. That's OK - I can enter to admin-panel and even see the my materials that I need.

But when I try to see the site - I found 500 Error, that was misundstanding for me. Then I added

ini_set('display_errors','On'); 
error_reporting(E_ALL); 

to index.php to check what's happenng with my site and was shocked that : Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 78 bytes) in /var/www/libraries/joomla/filter/filterinput.php on line 530

that's very strange becouse of the RAM of my VPS is more than enougph. In the start of index.php I have code:

<?php ini_set("memory_limit", "128M"); ?>

Does somebody know how to fix such trouble?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The error message is saying that it's trying to allocate 78 bytes more memory than allowed, the allowed amount is 1342217728 bytes which is 128M.

So you've exhausted the memory allowed - you therefore need to increase the allowed allowed allocation.
