Sounds like you're hitting the 8meg limit on how much memory a PHP script can consume.

For now, take a look at your php.ini file (usually /etc/php.ini) and look for the following line:

memory_limit = 8M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

For now, bump it up to 16M and see if that gets you passed your issue.

Now, you need to figure out what in the world PHP is doing that needs over 8M of memory. Are you pulling down the contents of a large file? Only time I have seen this error on my end was when using Squirrelmail and trying to attach a file bigger than 8M. The script has to process the large attachment and hits the limit and stops.

Maybe you're processing a large image? Who knows...

Hope this points you in the right direction...

Did you enable the locale module? If so, does disabling the locale module fix your problem?

Priority: Critical » Normal

4.2 doesn't allow to change the admin style - it's always the same (misc/admin.css). if you want this, upgrade to 4.3.
