If there is a known “feature” with the new version of WordPress that causes anything in the dashboard to generate internal server errors from an apparently random point in time that can be fixed by creating a one-line ini file in the wp-admin folder, why the bloody buggering hell doesn’t the WordPress install file create the damn file in the first place?
But kudos to my new host – Runtime UK – for the excellent service this morning when the error started. I got through to an English person just up the road, the call was answered in a couple of rings, the support person couldn’t give me an answer straight away so he promised to call me back. He called me back after about 20 minutes having determined that it wasn’t a server problem and had even gone on Google and researched the problem for me. Now that is what I call excellent service.
Very impressive service.
When my database fails on a Friday I have to wait until Monday for it to be fixed… Supposed to be 24/7 service.
I wish i knew what you are talking about!
No! hang on…… actually i don’t. 🙂
Basically, when I moved hosts I installed the latest version of WordPress for my blog. There’s a known problem with the dashboard (where you write the posts and change settings) running out of memory. It’s fixed by putting a php.ini file in the wp-admin directory with one line saying “memory=20MB”. If it’s a known error and such a simple fix then why doesn’t the WordPress install create the file?
Different servers and different versions of php have different memory defualts.
To see what you have all you need to do is create a php file with the following in.
Opps it cut the php code, inside the php tags
phpinfo(INFO_ALL);
