Thanks Itay! This worked! But same as you I'm curious about the logic behind it. As there is a limit of 20M for some reason. 2500 x 1600 pixels generates far less than 20MegaBytes I would say. And then it's only in case of thumbnail view...
I'm open for suggestions :)

Thanks for everyone's help, here is the error msg I get from two different wikis we have when trying to browse the file gallery:
wiki 1: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 11424 bytes) in /home/myglcap2/public_html/usa/wv/ccmswiki/includes/media/Bitmap.php on line 168
wiki 2: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 11264 bytes) in /home/myglcap2/public_html/usa/wv/hsta-manwiki/includes/media/Bitmap.php on line 168
This might be caused by the imagesize as Grietinus wrote yesterday (Issue 10) I am not sure.
The wikis is setup on a shared server.
The solution I found for it is:
- Chaning Memory limit from 20M to 40-50M on the following line of
localsetting: # ini_set( 'memory_limit', '20M' ); 2. Going to the file gallery (that works now) and clicking on the thumbnails 3. then lowering the memory back to 20M
Any clues of how to prevent this?
Thanks, Itay

I also encountered this problem. However it does not seem to be related with the bytesize but more with the imagesize. Whenever an image exceeds the size of approximately 1600 x 1600 pixels, the "Fatal Out of Memory" errors occur. It is, as Norbert says, only when Thumbnails are involved...
Kind Regards,

I have run into problems as well with JPGs exceeding 1MB in size.
Symptoms
include upload confirmation pages that are blank, blank pages displayed when previewing/saving Wiki pages with thumbnails of the images, or
'Fatal
Out of Memory' errors. I have no problems displaying the full-sized image.
My MediaWiki installation is on a shared hosting server, which has
limits
on the amount of available memory I can use. My suspicion is that the
GD
code used to create the thumbnails is exceeding available memory -
before
it can create the thumbnail, it first uncompresses the JPG. I have been trying to install ImageMagick on the sharing hosting server, but have
not
figured out all the changes required to the Make files so that it will install cleanly. Installing just the ImageMagick binaries was not successful. There are other, JPG-specific thumbnail conversion routines provided with Linux that appear to be less memory-hungry, but I suspect that would require changes to the MediaWiki code. Norbert

This will work, but you might want to find out what's causing the
errors
in
the first place and tackle the original problem. What are the
warnings
and
errors you're getting? What image renderer are you using?

Hi all,
I am trying to alter the monobook skin and I am running into a weird problem (version 1.5.5).
Some links are still "clickable" while others behave as simple text, but are displayed in blue. When I have a look at the source of the webpage, the links are displayed exactly the same. The page in question is at http://gemologyproject.com/wiki/index.php?title=Habit&useskin=test .
The first "form" link is not clickable (first sentence in the Basic section), while the 2nd "form" link (in the Related Topics section) works as expected/hoped.
Another strange thing is that I can not highlight the text in the "Basic" section. I'm sure the two problems are related.
Does anyone have an idea what causes this?
Thanks,
Alain

The uncompressed image is about 15Mb of contiguous memory. Add the overhead of all classes and mediawiki code and the size of the thumbnail you're writing.
ok, sounds reasonable... But why then keep the default on 10 or 20M? Is it speed? In other words, if I want to enlarge the value, should I be as reluctant as possible? Or is it not (really) important?
