memory size problem

This sounds like a different issue altogether.
Can you make a new file in the base directory of your site called phpinfo.php and simply put this as contents:

Code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then load up that page in your browser, search the resulting contents for the Max memory and see what it says there. It almost sounds like something in your CI install is consuming so much memory that there is an issue. I'm concerned that you might have adjusted the PHP.ini file and not allocated enough memory, sot he original issue may no longer be the issue that you have now.
