You hit PHP's memory_limit. Try increasing it to 256M or higher.

You also might want to restore from backup and redo the upgrade.

how can i increase it?

by the way in the host tools-Software requirements everything green (ok)

Create a php.ini file in Dolphin's main directory with:

memory_limit = 256M

Then check Admin Panel => Tools => Host Tools => phpinfo and see if the value has changed for memory_limit. On some servers, the php.ini file may need to be renamed to .user.ini (note the initial dot).

thanks nathan i did and it don't work, but the i added to the top of the file this line

ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');
and it works. 

thanks anyway

I'm getting this error on a site upgrading from 7.1.6 and the step, photo re-sizer.

500 error with the logs, 

mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 31 seconds, referer: http://site.org/upgrade/files/7.1.6-7.2.0/photos_resize.php?_t=1445362327

Although the site did this three times, each time I refreshed I got another 500 with it.

The re-size finally finished and all the images were done.

 Mistake, the timeline photos didn't get re-sized, they are huge!

php memory is at 1024MB

Not sure what happened, any help is appreciated.

Script tries to resize 30 photos per run, try to change it to 10 in upgrade/files/7.1.6-7.2.0/photos_resize.php file: 

function PageCompPageMainCode()
{   
    $iLimit = 10;
    $aNewSizes = array(
        '_t.jpg' => array('w' => 240, 'h' => 240, 'square' => true),
        '_t_2x.jpg' => array('w' => 480, 'h' => 480, 'square' => true, 'new_file' => true),
    );

To add, increase FastCGI's FcgidIOTimeout value to something higher (e.g., 300 or 600).

memory_limit = 256M

If anyone still has problems with this one.

adding

memory_limit = 256M;

to new file

.user.ini

did it for me.

All the main blocks on the homepage were removed though, so I guess I need to check that everything else is as it should be.
