Just had my server upgraded tot PHP 5.1.6 and MySQL 5.0.58

And now when I try to Edit a post or Publish a post, a blank screen is presented.

There are no particular modules or plugins installed.
Checked the permissions on Cache and subdirs, all 777
Template system works normal, that is, editing a template can be done.

I am running ExpressionEngine 1.6.3 build 20080421

Also, an old installation of ExpressionEngine 1.5.2 build 20070404, has the same issues.

Any thougts on this one? Is it insufficient System Memory?

I wouldn’t think it’s a memory issue- particularly on the publish screen.  Soon as you click a weblog to publish to- resulting screen is blank?  I’d like to get some php errors showing so we could narrow things down.

Do you have them turned on for superadmins in ‘Admin- System Prefs- Output and Debug’?  If you do- try forcing it per this kblog entry- note, in this case, you’d want to edit the system/index.php file.

As soon as I click publish or edit a post, it turns blank.

Adding the
error_reporting(E_ALL);
or/and
ini_set(‘display_errors’, 1);

displays:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1474560 bytes) in /var/www/vhosts/name.com/httpdocs/eecp/core/core.spellcheck.php on line 806

1.5.2 result:
After editing the system/index.php of ExpressionEngine 1.5.2 it displays no visible error, only blanks.

OK- first on is easy.  You were right- it’s a memory issue.  Can you up php memory- I like at least 32MB myself.  Let’s see where that gets us.

Thanks Robin for your effort.

I thought it might be possible to override server php.ini settings by the use of .htaccess
So I added the line:

php_value memory_limit 32000000

to my .htaccess and voila, problem solved for EE 1.6.3 and EE 1.5.2.

So it was a memory issue after all… That’s good news.
