Connection Reset on Theme Install

[fpdevco]

Hi,

Installed WordPress OK. Installed BuddyPress and activated OK. Installed Sweetdate Theme and activated, and immediately kills WordPress (front end and back end), with server returning no data (Connection Reset).

If I delete the theme manually with FTP, I can access the admin backend again.

I have many working WP and WP/BP installations working on my server.

Something very wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I thought it may be that I installed BP before the theme, so I removed BP and reinstalled the theme on a clean WP install and I get the same deal. Completely breaks WP.

I traced through the WP startup and it breaks on this line in the framework Load.php file ..

//instance of our theme framework
$kleo_sweetdate = new SQueen($theme_args);

Digging deeper, it breaks on this line in the SQueen constructor 🙁

require_once FRAMEWORK_URL. ‘/classes/tgm-plugin-activation.php’;

That’s a big file, and I have no idea what’s breaking in there.

Thought it may be PHP memory but ini is set to 256MB on this install.

Please help!

Curious, what are system requirements for this theme (and framework)? Can’t find them anywhere ..

My server is running PHP version 5.4.25, which is quite old. Is this compatible? Would like to know before I update (I have a lot of sites using that version).

Ok, never mind. I ended up upgrading to PHP 5.5 and that fixed the issue.

Thanks!
