It is a php.ini issue, sorry have a bad cold.


There is a similar error involving MySql.
It comes from a search that has too many queries or joins.
The MBString can cause that sometimes.

Since you are on a shared platform, you must call support.

The Apache server has to be restarted to take effect.

On a dedicated server or VPS it is a simple service httpd restart
In your environment you may have something in your cPanel.

This is why shared is baaad.
