ram problem

[mcncyo]

I am having a ram problem I think I been getting this error

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried
to allocate 184320 bytes in
/home/domains/christianforum/htdocs/showthread.php(437) : eval()'d
code on line 83 d code on line 83

Does anyone know how to fix this problem.

if you're on a dedicated server you can increased php max memory in the php.ini file..

i have in my php.ini file

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

max_execution_time = 60 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
memory_limit = 16M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)


the defaults are 30 seconds and 8M which i upped

not sure if you can do that using a .htaccess file though

okay found it, if you put in a .htaccess file in the directory of the php page (i think)


php_value memory_limit 16M

I can't find the php.ini file

this is how i configure it

./configure \
--localstatedir=/var \
--enable-discard-path \
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc \
--disable-debug \
--with-db2 \
--with-gdbm \
--enable-ftp \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-zlib \
--enable-memory-limit \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs

you should have a phpinfo.php file in your vB zip file load it on your site i.e.

http://vbulletin.com/forum/phpinfo.php

look at the 6th line

Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini

then telnet into your server, switch to root user and find a file named php.ini-optimized at prompt

locate php.ini-optimized

i.e. it might return /usr/local/src/php-4.0x/php.ini-optimized

copy and rename that file to the path outlined in phpinfo line 6

cp php.ini-optimized /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini

then edit the php.ini file

pico /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini

after editing save file and restart apache
