Try increasing the amount of memory needed by PHP in the php.ini file...

This is normally set to 18M for most setups.

You could ask Strato, whether a) you can override via .htaccess or whether they can do this for your virtual account.

See here:

Hope there is a solution for you. This large amount of memory is only needed a few times I think as certain cache files are generated.

I also get this message, why should i increase the memory size when every other portal/cms works fine!

This appears to be either a programming error or bad design!! which is it?

Try this one:

Maybe it'll help.

There's one very poor workaround to this problem, if you can't access php.ini, but simply want to get a look at how your Exponential site looks. Keep refreshing the page a few times (you have to do it less as you move through the site, as it seems the classes are loaded) and eventually each page will load. This certainly isn't a permanent solution though!

It would be great if the developers could address this issue. I imagine a lot of people with web hosting would have this problem, and many hosting providers are unlikely to agree to the change in PHP memory.
