I began getting this cryptic error message before Xmas whenever I attempted to access the Admin for the site. Didn’t have the time to investigate further and an urgent email or two to the useless hosting co that I’m stuck with for now wasn’t answered. I gave up expecting answers months ago - unless I whinge about changing hosts!

Google of course came up with a cure - to add a line like ‘php_value memory_limit 16M’ to the .htaccess file - and ‘bingo’ success!
I presume the reason is the shared hosting space is running low on the host’s servers. I don’t really care, all will be resolved soon anyway with a shift to a proper webhost.

Merry Christmas anyways (I prefer Xmas) but I’m feeling generous. I even put on some nice Xmas Carols at the family dinner and got some bemused looks from those who know my beliefs (or lack of them). I take the view that they are pleasant music and they invoke pleasant memories from my past. I can enjoy them without buying into the myth…
