Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted

Greetings community.

I got this error when trying to load a big file in a buffer (variable).

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.3
 
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted at SAPI.c:223 (tried to allocate 10 bytes) in /root/devel/cam_radius_search/cam_radius_search.php on line 4 
/root/devel/cam_radius_search/cam_radius_search.php(4) : Fatal error - Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted at SAPI.c:223 (tried to allocate 10 bytes)

I said to myself, hey, no problem, i'll just raise the max_mem in php.ini.

Problem is, it was already set a 32MB ... take a look at this ;

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

max_execution_time = 30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
memory_limit = 32M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8M😎

So... anyone has any idea what is going on ?

Hmm... guessing that your web server has not been re-started since that change or you've missed --enable-memory-limit off the ./configure line (although i think this usually means you can usually allocate more than the memory_limit).

Dunno, just guessing...

Im using the CGI version of PHP, in command line, and --enable-memory-limit is set.

I have no clue what the problem his =(

I used this at the top of my script ;
ini_set("memory_limit", "32M");

Fixed the problem.

Aaahh, nice one. Bit funny why php.ini was being ignored tho... 😕

I had the same problem with changes in the memory allocation not being accepted after I reloaded/restarted apache.

The resolution was to clear the php cache and then restart apache. I just cleared the cache of the app that was causing the problem.

I don't know if I am doing this the right way. But I installed flexion.org on a different database and I have my original forum on another database. I did a database backup for both of the versions. And I took a look at the files. I figured that I could just replace what flexion.org has with what is important for my forum to convert. Posts, avatars, topics, users, profiles, and such. After about 20 minutes, I finally had a completed file. And decided to do a Database Restore.

And I came up with this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/derek/www/phpBB2/includes/sql_parse.php on line 71

Later.
