Francis Nart	Monday 26 January 2004 12:45:35 am Hi, we are about to set up our firts Exponential site on our dedicated server. This server already host 8 websites on a php/mysql framework. When lauching the set up wizrad of Exponential we get a memory message problem (copy below): "1. Insufficient memory allocated to install Exponential Exponential will not work correctly with a memory limit of 8M. It's highly recommended that you fix this. Locate the php.ini settings file for your PHP installation. On unix systems, this is normally located at /etc/php.ini, on windows systems check the PHP installation path. Open the php.ini file and change the memory_limit value to at least 12M, and press Next If you are running Exponential in a shared host environment, contant your ISP to perform the changes" My question is this, what should be the quantity of RAM we should allocate to PHP to run Exponential in such an evironment. (8 websites and probably 3 more websites with z publish 3.3). Our server is a PIV 2.4 Ghz with 512 Mo RAM. Thanks for your replies ! Best regards. Francis.

Francis Nart	Monday 26 January 2004 2:19:06 am do you think that a 32Mb allocation should do on our server sharing about 10 websites ?
Balazs Halasy	Monday 26 January 2004 3:04:47 am Solve by trial & error... Try 16, does it work? -> No? -> Try 32 -> Does it work? -> No? -> Increase it again. \| \| \| \| -> Yes? -> Cool! -> Great. B.
