Installing plugins / themes from admin fails with memory exhausted...

[flashingcursor]

Installing any plugin, theme and trying to use the beta-testing plugin to update to the newest nightly using a clean install of the 04/15 and 04/16 nightly produce the same error:

Example:

Downloading install package from ​http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/dynamic-content-gallery-plugin.3.2.3.zip…

Unpacking the package…

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 25581 bytes) in /home/admin/domains//public_html/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 1195

Which memory_limit do you have? It should be 32M at minimum.

No, he's using a limit of 128MB.

1195 is untrailingslashit(), which is simply a wrapper for rtrim. Clearly not where the memory exhaustion is taking place.

We've made some changes to unzip_file() in the 3.0 dev cycle so I'm going to assign this to dd32 but also set reporter-feedback on it, as we'll need more information about your setup. A note, unzip_file() does attempt to boost the memory limit to 256.

Replying to nacin:

Please let me know what additional information you need and I'll be happy to help.

Can you post a copy of your phpinfo() output? or alternativly, email it to me off-trac? wordpress/at/dd32.id.au

Reducing the priority as at this point in time, its not a widespread issue.

[flashingcursor]

Sent phpinfo via email

Can you SVN up? This should be fixed i hope.
