Weird PHP error when going to wordpress admin page

[PaulRiedel]

Hi

I just installed wordpress (2.7) for the first time and get this error message when I go to the admin page:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /home3/priedelc/public_html/realitygossip/realitygossip/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php on line 882

What is this and how can I fix it?

Please help me.

Thanks!!

Paul

wow, i literally had to upload a php.ini with the one line:
memory_limit = "16M"
to *all* directories...

hmmmmm - well it seems to work now.

You may find it easier to add the following line to wp-config.php:

ini_set('memory_limit', '16M');

the config.php method doesnt work. I copy php.ini with one memory line to admin directory, which solves the problem
