Chronoforms Fatal Error

Hello,
I have uploaded Chronoforms to a server and I am getting a 'Fatal error'.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 184320 bytes) in /home/sites/greatemailoffers.co.uk/public_html/administrator/modules/mod_menu/helper.php on line 244


Can anyone please let me know why this is and how I might fix it.

Personally I think it's the Hosting company 'Heartinternet.co.uk' as I have used Chronoforms before and never had this issue. But for this website I have to use the hosting company 'Heartinternet.co.uk'.

Thank you very much in advance to anyone who might be able to point me in the right direction.

Best wishes,
Neil.

Hi Neil,
That error message pretty much says that your hoster (heartinternet.co.uk) has put a resource limit on their servers, where you are only allowed to use 8Mb of memory during script execution. If this occurs while you are installing CF, then you could try to manually transfer (ftp or such) the archive to the site and use the install-from-folder option when installing. This should save you some memory during the installation.

If, however, CF installs properly, and you get the error while trying to use CF, I'm afraid you are out of luck. You could try talking to your hoster regarding increasing the memory limit, but other than that, all that you could try to do is disabling any plugin and module you really don't need..

Hi Neil,

OK create php.ini file inside joomla root..

Write the following line in php.ini file >

memory_limit=16M

That's it bro.. I had heartinternet as well..

cheers!

Thanks to both Dino and Fredrick for replying to my post in regards to the fatal error message for Chronoforms.

Creating the php.ini file worked.

Here is the answer again:

this method will not work with GoDaddy virtual dedicated (Apache/Fedora) or many other hosting providers.

Chrono 5.5 is broke on Joomla 1.5.14. I installed on one of my test Joomla sites, running 1.5.7 to 1.5.11 and chrono works fine.

I get a fatal error now when creating a new form, trying to edit, etc.

Will continue to post my finding, but Chrono broke for now.

Hi dsmflash,

As with many of your postings this simply isn't true. You may be having problems with your site on your host but ChronoForms runs OK with most sites on most hosts. Unfortunately this post is so vague that I have no idea what probaly you migh actually be having except that you see a fatal error. Usually those are due to problems with the Form HTML but in this case who knows.
