Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6176202 bytes) in /homepages/26/*******/htdocs/******/administrator/includes/pcl/pclzip.lib.php on line 3236

If you will get the error "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted" you will need allocate more memory for PHP.
To increase this setting modify your php.ini, try this value first:
memory_limit = 20M
If you still get the error you will need more memory like:
memory_limit = 40M

If, however, you have set your limit to 40M and the fatal memory error does not show, you can try lowering it down like:
memory_limit = 32M

If you still don't get the error, try lowering the memory_limit further. The idea is to have the least amount of memory_limit specification possible as long as you don't get fatal memory errors.
