[Mediawiki-l] Wiki became unavailable--interpreting error messages

[Kasimir Gabert]

Hello Bill,

Try setting something like
ini_set("memory_limit","60M");
in the top of your LocalSettings.php file, and see what happens.  It
looks to me like PHP is taking up more RAM that it has been allocated.

I hope that this helps,
Kasimir Gabert
