Increasing php memory limit

[tamsin]

Hi,

I'm trying to do a test import from a medium sized phpbb forum:

Number of posts:638851
Number of topics:45705
Number of users:3979

The impex instructions recommend:

For a medium import 32-64Meg would be expected. For a large source board, its a sliding scale of how big your forum is, though 64Meg is a good setting to start with.

I've found my php.ini file and thats currently set to 8mb. What should I change this to and how do I reboot the server afterwards? I have ssh access.

Thanks,
Tamsin

32M should be fine. And if PHP is running under Apache then you'll need to restart Apache.

Thanks very much, I changed it and my import is now happily chugging away :)
