Platinum Games Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Hi all, when i try to do a backup download i keep getting the same error <br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 18022401 bytes) in <b>/home/XXXXXXX/public_html/game-shop/admin/backup.php</b> on line <b>295</b><br /> the code on 295 is if ( ($extension == 'zip') || ($extension == '.gz') || ($extension == 'sql') ) { if ($fp = fopen(DIR_FS_BACKUP . $HTTP_GET_VARS['file'], 'rb')) { $buffer = fread($fp, filesize(DIR_FS_BACKUP . $HTTP_GET_VARS['file'])); fclose($fp); header('Content-type: application/x-octet-stream'); header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['file']); echo $buffer; // line 295 exit; } can anyone advise why this would happen? Thanks in advance! Ben
germ Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 It tells you why - You've exhausted available memory on the server. It's might be possible to up the memory pool size (I think your host would have to do that - not sure). If you backup to a file, then FTP the file to your PC (then you can delete the file on the server if you wish) you won't have this problem. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Thanks in advance! Ben
germ Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Quite honestly I think no matter how much they could give you - you'll eventually exceed that amount (maybe even right now). I'd just backup to a file and use FTP if I were you. I suppose if you were to ask them I'd just ask if they could increase the available memory. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.
