Messages of this nature that contain the phrase 'Allowed memory size of xxxxx exhausted' all indicate that the system is running low on memory. The website currently runs on a server with 256Mbytes of memory - this just isn't enough to support our needs, so I have asked for a quote from our ISP to upgrade the server. Our contract is due to expire mid July, so I am also seeking quotes from other companies to see what options are available. I mention this not so that you can all send me emails saying '..my mate Steve can do you a good price...'  , but more to keep you all up to date on what is happening behind the scenes.But if your name is Steve and you run a big ISP with spare capacity, I could be interested... !!! BTW, for the techies: a simple calculation (which I know isn't 100% correct) indicates that if we allocate 12Mbytes to each user, the current system can support just less than 20 users before memory is being swapped in/out. In the evenings we frequently exceed 50 users - hence the majority of the problems are seen in the evening session.  |
