Installation Stops

Posted by exposure29 on February 11, 2012 at 5:30am

I am trying to install drupal 7 and first get this message

Verify Requirement - PHP memory limit 16M
Consider increasing your PHP memory limit to 32M to help prevent errors in the installation process. Increase the memory limit by editing the memory_limit parameter in the file /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini and then restart your web server (or contact your system administrator or hosting provider for assistance)

I then proceed to "set up database" I enter my database details push enter then installtion stops and the following appears in the browers address window "install.php?profile=standard&locale=en&continue=1"

Any suggestions?

My site is hosted by my ADSL provider and they setup the MYSQL for me to use.

server details: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian), php 5.2.6, mysql 5.0

exposure29,
Consider curing your php memory limit first. Documentation on how is here: http://drupal.org/node/207036

Your options are to create a php.ini file: you would want to place something like this in it: memory_limit = 64M
You can create a php.ini file through a simple .txt document. Name it php.txt, place memory_limit = 64M inside of it then rename your php.txt to php.ini and place it in the root directory of your drupal install.

Your alternative options are:
add to your .htaccess file and place php_value memory_limit 64M (this goes in your root directory as well).

through settings.php you can add ini_set('memory_limit', '64M');

What you are allowed to do depends on your web host
