you need to increase the php memory limit. There will be a directive like the following in the php.ini file

memory_limit = 64M
Change it to 128M or something similar and it should resolve your issue.

The php.ini file is usually in /etc/php5/php.ini. once you have updated this it should resolve your issue. Your web host should be able to help you with this.

The below gives more information on doing this. I would recommend changing it globally through the php.ini file

Another place to look for php.ini on some Linux systems is in /etc/httpd

If you are using Linux (or some other *nix), and you can't find the php.ini file try this

# find  /etc  -name  "php.ini"

apologies i didnt explain this correctly, it works in the front end it is just when you go into the administrators panel is when you get the error, i am going to try the following

Second, you could edit/create the file with the name .htaccess in your Document Root and add

php_value memory_limit 256M

ziceva i havent worked much in the .htaccess file, is there a specific place within the file i must insert the comment?

Thanks

also check to see if there is already an entry in the htaccess file already and change it accordingly

Hi Guys

I found the problem, it was a partially uploaded massive picture that had been uploaded, the .htaccess caused a 500 configuration error and the php.ini didnt work as my server host has allowoverride off

but i will award points as they were both valid answers
