   I have a blog at http://www.songmom.com and have suddenly been shut out from logging in to the admin. When I click to login, it gives me a strange user/pass screen and then sends me to an error 404 screen. Please help, I'm not sure if I should just reinstall or what. Thanks!

   i also have a login problem. i get to the normal admin login screen, and then when i put my name & password it goes to a page with this on it:

   Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 46080 bytes) in /home/www/exitstencil/blog/wp-admin/menu.php on line 44

   Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2 bytes) in /home/www/exitstencil/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1547

   I can access my sites by typing in the URL, it's just trying to get in to change it that's the problem!

   Can anyone please help!

   your whopping 8 megabytes is exhausted? what a surprise.

   talk to your host about increasing your php memory limit.

   Thanks Ivovic, I'm pretty new to this caper!

   I've sent an email to Hostway (who I'm with) so fingers crossed.

   Cheers.

   oh man... I remember when hostway took over my host du jour back in the late 90s I think... they were much (much) more expensive and implemented serious overselling strategies.

   I left.

   They're still a 'premium' priced host I see... which is not a problem in itself, but you should be getting more than 8mb of memory for your PHP.

   Good luck with getting it fixed quickly, and don't worry about being new, just forgive some of us (myself included) for being grumpy all the time ;)

   For the most part, help is available here, even if it's impatient and expects you to read the available documentation ;)

   hi Ivovic,

   yeah, they replied in a couple of hours and have set it to 32MB.

   thanks again for all your help. i'm looking forward to getting to grips with all this, and being a grumpy git myself, helping folk out.

   cheers again.
