Fresh install.
I was trying different plugins and themes to see what would work best. At one point selecting "Manage Styles" started to get

Now I no longer can change the style of the blog.

Also, selecting "Event Plugins" returns

Hi!

Hm, I can only imagine that you picked any theme or template that might utlize PHP5 features and your server is running PHP4 - you could try to rename the "config.inc.php" file inside the directory of your template to see if that file is really causing it.

Also, if you tell me which template you currently have activated I might be able to spot what inside that file could misbehave...

It might also be a RAM usage issue where you exceed your maximum memory. You could edit your .htaccess and add

Code: Select all

php_value display_errors On

to see if then you get errors displayed. If not, maybe your server provider can tell you where PHP error logs are kept.

HTH,

It was memory. Bumped from 16MB to 32MB.
I used 16MB because that was what the installer on S9y recommended. Perhaps that recommended value should be increased?

Hi!

The recommendation is actually the MINIMUM recommended memory. More never hurts!
