    Hello,

    I tried to install wordpress 4.4.1 on a webspace.
    After putting all Files on Webspace (via FTP) an open the URL:
    http://web50.area3.knu-systems.net/wp-admin/install.php
    .. i got following Error-message:

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16385 bytes) in /var/www/web50/html/wp-includes/pomo/streams.php on line 201

    For further imformation about the server-settings theres a link to an phpinfo():
    phpinfo.php

    Can someone help me resolving this problem.

    Thanks a lot
    Jens

    If you’re seeing this error either suddenly (no specific task was done to cause the error) or frequently, try deactivating all plugins to rule-out a plugin-specific issue and try switching themes to rule-out a theme-specific issue.

    Otherwise, here are three ways to increase PHP’s memory allocation:

    1. If you can edit or override the system php.ini file, increase the memory limit. For example, memory_limit = 128M

    2. If you cannot edit or override the system php.ini file, add php_value memory_limit 128M to your .htaccess file.

    3. If neither of these work, it’s time to ask your hosting provider to temporarily increase PHP’s memory allocation on your account. Keep in mind that most decent hosting providers allocate 32 MB to PHP under each account, and most decent hosting providers allow users to temporarily increase the memory allocation. If your hosting provider won’t accommodate you, perhaps it’s time to find a new hosting provider.

    (in the above examples, the limit is set to 128MB)

    Thanks,

    i tried to install a brandnew and clean installation of WP.
    In my opinion there isnt installed any plugin.

    I have no access to the php.ini and tried out your tip to edit the .htaccess but thie did not resolve the problem.

    Thanks a lot.

    Well, opinions don’t really count for something like that.

    Are there any plugins installed and activate or not?

    tried out your tip to edit the .htaccess but thie did not resolve the problem.

    Was it for this site http://web50.area3.knu-systems.net/phpinfo.php ? Becuase that still shows the memory limit set to 32 MB.

    Hallo,

    where can i get the info if there is installed any plugin?
    Like i wrote i put the Files on my webspace but the installation were not working.
    Therefor i do not have any running WP-System.
    No frontend and no backend.

    The phpinfo.ini was from my webspace an i am not able to change these settings becouse i ve no access on the php.ini of this server.

    Thanks
    Jens

    Ah, sorry, I didn’t catch that. It’s the installer itself that is failing.

    You’ll have to ask your hosting provider to increase the limit, or delete all of the WordPress files and install manually: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Installing_WordPress

    There is no reason for a WordPress to not install with 32 MB of RAM.

    good news…
    My webhoster changed these properties to 256MB and installation runs perfectly.

    Thanks a lot for our support.
