Memory Allocation error
November 04, 2008, 09:08:06 am
I was able to go in to the installer and with a full "green lights ahead", I was able to install civicrm 2.0. I then went in to Drupal and turned on the module. I kept getting memory exhaust errors when the modules page was trying to refresh. As this happened, I upped the memory limits in my .htaccess file. Once I got that screen up with 80mb allocated, I tried to go to the CRM itself.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6144 bytes) in C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\mtb\sites\all\modules\civicrm\packages\Mail\mime.php on line 131
was what greeted me.
I"ve upped to 100mb and even 120mb ... both locally and globally (php.ini)... Still no go. This is a pretty intense Drupal / vbDrupal install with a lot going on. It's not ridiculous though.

How should I get this memory situation straightened away. Is there a better approach than just throwing memory @ it?

Please advise .. I'm stuck!

Cheers,

Adam

most likely you are not modifying the right php.ini file. php still thinks it only has 32MB of memory based on the message below. You might want to find the right php.ini file and check the xampp documentation

a file containing phpinfo(); in the root of this site reveals that I am changing the correct php.ini file.

this error message seems to indicate otherwise (33554432 bytes == 32MB). You might want to investigate why this is happening. i suspect thats the root cause of your issue

I'm having this allocation problem as well.  I have reset the memory limits in my php.ini AND in civicrm.settings.php.  I even setup a script that checks in php memory limit and reports it back to me differently than my allocation error.  Whats up with this?  I've done a search of my entire public_html directory and can find no place where the memory is set to 50 MB as the error reports it to be.

1)  (http://www.mesaprogram.org/checkmem.php) -- Limit reports to be 500MB -- perhaps excessive, but extreme for illustration of point.
2) Whereas I receive an error from CiviCRM whenever I try to edit a contact, a contribution, etc that says

"Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 51904512) (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in ..../public_html/files/civicrm/templates_c/en_US/en_US/%%93/93A/93AD3FA7%%recentlyViewed.tpl.php on line 8"

These are quite incongruous.  Whats going wrong!!!!?

not sure what checkmem.php reports on. can you do a phpinfo( ); and see what that reports

Hi,

I am having the same problem when I try to go to admin>modules I get:
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 32243712) (tried to allocate 128 bytes) in /*******/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Contribute/DAO/ContributionProduct.php on line 303

PHPINFO shows the 128M of memory I specified in my php.ini file , and I can't find the civicrm.settings.php file at all, even if I telnet in and do a whereis query.
I am using the latest stable version of CiviCrm, has the file name changed?

Thanks!

Filename for CiviCRM settings file has not changed. For default "automated" Drupal installs it should be in sites/default (same place as your Drupal settings.php file).

That is exactly where I looked.
Like I said I even telnetted into my account and ran a whereis query and turned up nothing.
I guess if it didn't get generated that might cause this problem...

I have been doing a bit of searching on this topic, and my research has turned up the following that pertains to our PHP usage:

PHP is run as a CGI at our hosting provider. We select their PHP5 version for the entire site, and configure that via a .htaccess rule in the webroot.

PHP is configured via a php.ini, also in the webroot. That has worked well for Drupal installed in the webroot, and Gallery installed in a subdirectory.

Installing CiviCRM for the first time, I was told that the memory limit was set to 40. I do not happen to specify a number for the memory limit, but know when my php.ini settings are in affect, that 128 is the memory limit!

Turns out, there has to be a php.ini file in every directory that has a .php file in it, else the custom settings do not take affect!

I did test, and at our hosting provider it did work to create a symlink to the webroot copy. That at least makes changing it easier. Now to rig up a bash script to seek out .php files and make sure a link to php.ini is in the directory!
