   I tried to update automatically and received the following message:

   Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2355395 bytes) line 1331
   Can anyone let me know how to overcome this error.

   Thanks
   Susan

   Go to this thread where people are asking your very same question-
   Fatal error on upgrade to 2.8.2.

   Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2355395 bytes) in /home/example/public_html/blog/wp-includes/http.php on line 380

   Where Samboll replies-

   add this line to your wp-config.php right after opening php statement

   define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

   -- - - - - - - -
   For the problem solvers amongst us, I have interesting install/update issues too.

   Thanks, I should have done a search first. Dumb question but where do I find the wp-config.php?

   Where to find your wp-config.php file:

   Inside the WordPress folder, you will find a file named- "wp-config-sample.php". You open this file, not in a word processor which embeds invisible characters, but in a simple text editor.

   You save-as the file as "wp-config.php". With the file "wp-config.php", you will edit and save this file by adding in correct information about your blog's location, database location, database user, database password, these being the four most important articles of information. You'll need to edit other information as well. All Instructions are written as comments within the coded config file. Also, add "?>" to the last line if these two characters do not exist there already (their ommision is a bug). Then the "wp-config.php" will need to placed in your wordpress location on your server. Good luck.
