    Actually I was advised by somebody here to ask my web host to increase php memory so that I can install wp.

    My web host cannot do that attributing to that this would make their server down. Instead they asked me to change something in wp to reduce php memory.

    How can i do this? Please advise.

    Thank you very much in advance

    Gotta admit that I would be leaning towards a new host. A simple change of the default memory from 8 megs to something larger shouldn’t be causing a server to fail unless it’s a very very cheap box.

    Also considering that a google search for your error shows that many other packages have the same problem with lack of memory ffrom PHP shows that it’s a PHP issue, just a WP one.

    The onlt thing I can think of is adding teh following line to your .htacess file within root:

    php_value memory_limit 12M

    Please see if that works.

    Do note though that if you can’t even install wordpress, you’re going to have additional issues further down the road if you were to get it installed.

    Good luck,
