When following installation instructions with:

PHP 5.2.14
Joomla 1.5.22
CB 1.3.1
CBSubs 1.1.2

I get to installing CBSubs Tax plugin, which results in:

"Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 71827456) (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in

/nfs/c08/h01/mnt/116138/domains/tc2.ca/html/joomla/libraries/domit/xml_domit_lite_parser.php on line 135"

I set PHP memory limit to 128MB and confirmed with Joomla backend sysinfo and with PHP info.

I also added "RLimitMem max max" to .htaccess in html root, the error persists.

I'm guessing 72MB is a limit imposed by the host, but it seems very high (at least higher than the manual says is needed).

I tried again with the following software versions:

PHP 5.2.14
Joomla 1.5.22
CB 1.4.0
CBSubs 1.1.2

And the error returned from tax plugin install is:

I also tried:

PHP 5.2.14
Joomla 1.6.1
CB 1.4.0
CBSubs 1.1.2

And on install of the tax plugin I get:

"500 - An error has occurred. String could not be parsed as XML"



I've downloaded CBSubs again and checked MD5Sum against the one that fails to install, it's identical.

Please advise,

This is a fresh Joomla install with no other extensions, just CB and (1/2) CBSubs. 72MB seems a little on the way high side, but I'm trying to have the host raise the limit.

Some more info...

In cb.installer.php I added the following echos before and after the call to create a new CBSimpleXMLElement object (this call causes the error):


echo "ini_get('memory_limit'):". ini_get('memory_limit') . "\n<br />";
echo "memory_get_usage():" . memory_get_usage() . "\n<br />";
echo "strlen(\$xmlString):" . strlen($xmlString) . "\n<br />";
$element = new CBSimpleXMLElement( $xmlString );
echo "after" . "\n\n<br /><br />";


And this results in:


ini_get('memory_limit'):99M
memory_get_usage():23221448
strlen($xmlString):2987788
parser error : out of memory

Seems like CBSimpleXMLElement is being passed the entire contents of the 3MB cbsubs.tax.xml file and eating up 70MB+ of RAM? Memory leak or recursion problem? I didn't look at the constructor. Don't know why our server is affected but no others. Your help is appreciated, I'll send that PM, thanks,
