Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in Joomla


I created a joomla site on my shared hosting this morning. Everything was going great, I was uploading content. And suddenly when I went to create my third category, I got the following error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /home/mysite/public_html/libraries/phputf8/utils/unicode.php on line 208

I tried max_execution in a custom php.ini but it has still not helped me.

I am unable to contact my hosting company as they do not have a support forum or anything.

Is there any way to repair this issue?


Solution

  • @Dasun is right, 32 mb is an awful lot of memory:

    turn the debug feature on (administrator -> global configuration -> system -> debug system) and you'll see who's eating up so much memory. If you can't get rid of the module/component, try to enable cache with a long timeout.

    And definitely change hosting provider as soon as possible!
