Why do I get the error Allowed memory size of Xxx bytes exhausted?
You are exhausting the available memory that PHP has access to. There are three work arounds: 1 – Edit the master php.ini – There is a config variable named memory_limit that by default is set to 8MB. Edit php.ini and increase it to a larger value (restart Apache afterwards). 2 – Edit .htaccess file – If you don’t have access to php.ini then you can sometime edit / create a .htaccess file for your gallery directory. When adding that line to .htaccess, you must use a number, in bytes. For example, 8MB would be about 8000000 bytes. Sometimes you can’t create a .htaccess file on a shared host and Apache will through an error message.
[answered by Vallimar] You are exhausting the available memory that PHP has access to. In php.ini there is a config variable named memory_limit that by default is set to 8MB. I quickly exhausted this after uploading a couple thousand images and had to increase it. Edit php.ini and increase it to a larger value (restart Apache afterwards). If you don’t have access to php.ini, you can add this line to your .htaccess file.
