[TYPO3-install] Have read previous posts on this issue of Fatal Error: Memory BUT>>>

[claire frances]

Hello: I have read both on the web-empowered church forum (WEC) that offers an install version 4.1.1 of Typo3 (which I used to install on debian/linux - think it's both, not sure?), and here at the Typo3 forum. There is a lot written about various scenarios for Fatal Error: Memory Allocation - Here is mine at www.sfsro.com/blogs/typo3

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /sites/sfsro.com/htdocs/blogs/t3lib/class.t3lib_tceforms.php on line 834

I did contact my host provider but have not heard back. In the meantime, I tried what the forums suggested but in following a previous Typo3 forum suggestion:
..."Anyway, you can try to avoide this problem by using the TYPO3 install 
tool, section "all configuration" and set the memory_limit to 64 (the ...."

I did locate this command, and the backend of the install does tell me to copy/paste the code in the proper $var file, but I cannot locate this file anywhere, even looking through all of them manually.

Also, another suggestion says to place something line (excuse  the syntax it is not in front of me) {memory_limit=40} on the first line of the localconfig.php file in the Typo3 root section.  I tried this (placing the proper syntax BEFORE the start of <php coding>...but it did nothing to change the several FATAL error memory warnings. 

Okay, thanks for any advice. I hope to hear from someone. thanks. CF
