Weird. My hoster changed the value to 320M and the site was up and running again. I thought I had full rights but maybe not…
The changes I did were made in the httpd.conf. Not in the php config. But the strange thing is I’m pretty sure I did not do anything else but changing the limit within the php config editor. Let’s wait and see what my host can explain.
BPS gave me a lot warnings. I ran the pre-install checks and wizard. Created and activated the secure htaccess files. All status in green and good to go I presume.
Wp-config.php says within the php.ini setting memory-limit 320M. Like you said, this should at best 256M. When I change this on the server. Do I change this myself by hand or not?
