Blank admin page and out of memory error

I can not access the admin page on my server, it keeps coming back with a blank page that only says Administration

the error_log is showing messages like:

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 523800 bytes) in /var/www/html/data/BeanFactory.php on line 111, referer: http://xx.xx.xx.xx/index.php?module=Users&action=EditView&record=3f2cbd98-0617-8eb2-71ce-4fa9972a44b8

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 523800 bytes) in /var/www/html/include/database/DBManagerFactory.php on line 281

but the server is not under any stress and there is plenty of available memory.

         total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

Mem: 30162 582 29580 32 36 157
-/+ buffers/cache: 388 29774
Swap: 0 0 0

php.ini file memory is set as follows:
memory_limit = 256M

I have check permissions over and over and I am really lost. Because I can’t access admin page I can’t upgrade to the latest version, or run any of the admin tasks like repair etc…

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I assume that you would not have done any customization for that module, May be something that takes more memory ?
memory_limit = 256M is very less now a days, If you got more RAM available increase the size.
