Hello All,

I have been using Wampserver for several years almost without a hitch. It was working fine yesterday. I was able to create a clean Joomla 3.6 installation and import content into the database all without any issues.

After booting my computer today I am unable to load any PHP pages whatsoever. No changes have been made to the installation. I have tried increasing the memory_limit to 640MB from 128MB without resolving the issue.

I have done some housekeeping on my machine prior to this happening (words that will frighten many an administrator). This included uninstalling and reinstalling Windows .NET framework 3.x (don't ask), uninstalling Opera (it was using 250MBs of disk space, I mean, come on Opera, what have you got in there???) and uninstalling Aptana Studio (I just can't seem to leave Notepad++ for you, even if you are younger, smarter, and with better looking, em, functions).


Any help on this will be very gratefully recieved as I am at a loss.

Hi gorilla,

Well this is a refresing change, someone who has got a problam and has not lost his sense of humour, and is prepared to admit that it might have been caused by themself. Very refreshing.

A couple of suggestions, first can you check php.ini for the `memory_limit` parameter.

The number in the error message, 655360 is actually only 640K and not 640Meg, pleas make sure it is set with a 'M' suffic like this.

memory_limit = 128M

For 640 Megabyte and not

memory_limit = 128

Which means 128 Kilobytes



Also and just as a side not, I dont thik there is a Joomla 3.6 yet, the latest version is 3.3.6

RiggsFolly, Thanks so much for getting back to me.

That is embarrassing. I had even set the memory_limit value back to 128M after failing to change it correctly and not tested if this resolved the issue. As it is the cause of the problem was almost certainly when I reinstalled .NET framework. I needed to go into Windows Features to turn off some switches that .NET had set. Which would have worked, I guess, but for the accidentally lowered memory limit.

As for Joomla 3.6, hey, the entire Joomla community is confused.

Please mark this as closed.

Thanks again for the assist.
