    The auto-install part of going to 3.0 when fine. But when I went to log in, I was required to do a database upgrade. When I press “Upgrade WordPress Database”, I get “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted…”

    Any ideas?

    May need to increase PHP memory using one of these methods:

    1. Use the memory bump plugin from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/memory-bump/

    2. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
    If your line shows 32M try 64M:
    memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)

    3. If you don’t have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
    php_value memory_limit 64M

    4. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

    5. Talk to your host.

    Thank you for your suggestions. I tried all of the above and they didn’t work. EXCEPT, I went off of #3 and changed the memory limit value to 512m and that worked. So it’s done now. After completing, I erased the line from .htaccess. Thanks!
