2.2.6 Installation error at last setup page.

OS: Reportedly Unix (don't know flavour - MelbourneIt host)
PHP Version 5.2.17
MySql 5.1.50
Trying to install MODX 2.2.6 w core outside webroot.

Everything going to plan without any warnings or errors until the last step (action=complete). Then I get this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /usr/home/wordsw/modxcore/model/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templateparser.php on line 2473

I've tried uploading files again (in fact I tried three times) but to no avail. I can't figure out whats wrong. get the same error when trying the manager.

Help!

I think that this may be a server limitation.
Try contacting your host and ask to increase the memory limit.

fetchall,

I`ll quote Jason Coward (Opengeek): "MODX Revolution requires a memory_limit of at least 16Mb, and we recommend 32M or more depending on the size of your site." from the following post: https://forums.modx.com/index.php?topic=64002.0

You should increase your memory to at least 16M on your php.ini file if you access to it or ask for some assistance from your hosting company

Ok... eating_humble_pie(now());

I got tricked into a false sense of confidence by the success messages. You see somewhere in the setup steps there's this test with a big green tick:

Checking if memory limit is set to at least 24M for zip extensions: OK! Set to 24M

Either this is reporting wrongly or it is at least confusing. Nevertheless I should have checked the server myself before bothering you good people
It was indeed set to 8M - and after updating it to 64M the server is humming...

Good stuff.

I`m glad it worked for you.
