This is a server memory limit. To temporarily up your limits edit your includes/config.php file and add these lines right under the <?php line:

ini_set('memory_limit', 32 * 1024 * 1024);

[raagaswaram]

hey,
how do i set the limit on the server ?
it is now set to 8MB i want to change it to 16MB

[Colin F]

You can change that either in your php.ini, or by adding this to a .htaccess file:

php_value memory_limit 16M

[Steve Machol]

That will only set this for your web sites though. To change this server-wide, you need to edit your php.ini file:

memory_limit = 16M

[raagaswaram]

[root@vasuki root]# memory_limit = 16M
-bash: memory_limit: command not found

[Colin F]

You'll have to actually edit the php.ini file, that's not a command to run.

thtx not working

[raagaswaram]

i edited php.ini still didn't work i know it used to work on php4 but php5 is not working is ther anything else i hav to do?

[Steve Machol]

What's 'ot working' exactly? You need to be more specific.

[raagaswaram]

memory limit setting i edited the php.ini to limit it as 16m but still not working im sing PHP5

[Boxy]

After editing the php.ini file you need to restart the webserver for the changes to take effect.

[raagaswaram]

memory limit setting i edited the php.ini to limit it as 16m but still not working im sing PHP5

[Zachery]

Did you restart apache after the change was made?

[raagaswaram]

i did restartin too

[Zachery]

Then if you are still getting the error message you either did not, or could not change the php.ini file. Do ou have root access?
