PHP Memory Alloction Discrepancy
April 16, 2009, 11:16:49 am
I just installed Civi on a Drupal 6 install.

I have 128 mb allocated via a php.ini file at the public root. Drupal "Status" report shows 128 mb allocated. But with Civi I got an installation warning, "You've got only 32 mb of ram allocated.

Which is telling the truth, civi or drupal?

Thanks,

Shai

want to add some debugging code to: install/index.php, function getPHPMemory (line 328) and see what/why its returning only 32MB?

you might also want to add a phpinfo( ); call there and check things. Maybe a different php.ini is being read for drupal vs the install index? or some mods being made via .htaccess?

If I run that page again I get, "CiviCRM is already installed."

I put another copy of the php.ini file with the higher memory setting into the /install directory and now a phpinfo() report shows 128 MB available. But it seems weird that different paths at the site would have access to different amounts of php memory.

most likely your default php.ini is still set to 32M. you might want to locate it and fix it there so all php scripts get the higher limit

 :) Thanks. Contacted host. Machine is running suPHP and requires the php.ini at public root level and the following in the .htaccess file: suPHP_ConfigPath /home/accountname/public_html

All is good on the memory front.

I installed CiviCRM 2.2.2 this morning and had memory problems. I put memory_limit = 64M in php.ini in my public_html directory. That didn't work. I put ini_set('memory_limit', '64M'); in sites/default/settings.php. That didn't work. Running phpinfo.php showed 64M, but the installer still said I had only 28M.

I put the php memory info in every directory, following the instructions at http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,1855.msg20410.html#msg20410 and that worked. The installer finally saw 64M.
