[TYPO3] Problem with upgrading from php4 to php5

[Gunnar Jonsson]

I found a solution to the problem by using command ini_set to debug:
I inserted:

ini_set('display_errors', 'on');

in the index.php in the rootfolder of the domain.
Then I found that the problem was that the default memory_limit was only 
16M, so I had to increase that in the php.ini file.

regards,
Gunnar Jonsson
