Can't login, get fatal error

I have installed Exponential 3.0-2 on Unix. The installation seems to be going smoothly. The database is created as it should be, so I thought everything was well.
So, I go to the login-screen to see some action. I get the login-form. So far, everything is ok. But, when I enter my login info en hit 'Login', I get this error:

-----
Fatal error: Exponential did not finish it's request
The execution of Exponential was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below.
-----

There is NO debug output... I get this same message when I try to create a user. I can enter the user information, but, as soon as I hit 'sign up' (or whatever the button says), I get the same error message.
The new user however, does appear in the database (the way it should be, I guess).

I'm stuck here.

-----
Here's what I have done to try and solve the problem:

* I have installed it a few times now and still I get this error message.
* I have installed Exponential 3.0-2 locally (WindowsXP) and everything works fine (just to check if the files were ok)
* I have downloaded several versions, but each time the same error
* I've opened site.ini and checked if everything was ok. Pretty weird, because no information I entered during installation was in the site.ini file. I've searched some more and in the file 'site.ini.append.php' I found the correct information. I thought the correct information was supposed to be in the 'site.ini' file?? Anyways, I entered the correct information in the 'site.ini' file and still I cannot login.

What on earth can I to make it work? Or am I just having some bad luck?

Maybe you're php install is out of memory:

Tip: browse the contributed documents to get more information about typical problems/howto's etc.

As the title says: I didn't have enough php memory, so I added a line in my .htaccess config file (php_value memory_limit 20M) and now it works!

Tnx, Huib!
