Fatal PHP memory error - even with 96M set in php.ini
May 04, 2009, 05:08:33 am
I'm (still) troubleshooting a series of problems with a drupal install - D6.11 + CiviCRM 2.2.2 on a VPS with 512Mb of RAM. phpinfo() reports 96Mb of RAM available (i.e. exactly what I've allocated in the system-wide php.ini and the local instance of same). PHP version is 5.2.9. I've hardened PHP with suhosin and suphp and suExec is on.

I'm getting a number of errors along the lines of:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 20971520) (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in .../public_html/modules/menu/menu.admin.inc on line 420

Its a fresh install of CiviCRM to an empty DB inside a fresh install of Acquia Drupal. Many of the modules that come with Acquia have been disabled.

Other contributed modules are producing similar errors - CCK and Date modules in particular.

I could up it to 128Mb, but surely 96Mb should be enough RAM? Anyone else got any ideas?

Nope, upping the memory limit doesn't fix it. phpinfo{} displaying the correct allocation, but same problems.

/admin/build/block/list worked once, but after enabling the sync members/sync groups modules, this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'XML data could not be loaded. Make sure you specified the correct path.' in public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/IDS/Filter/Storage.php:217 Stack trace: #0 public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/IDS/Filter/Storage.php(108): IDS_Filter_Storage->getFilterFromXML() #1 public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/IDS/Monitor.php(167): IDS_Filter_Storage->__construct(Object(IDS_Init)) #2 public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/IDS.php(131): IDS_Monitor->__construct(Array, Object(IDS_Init)) #3 public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/Invoke.php(74): CRM_Core_IDS->check(Array) #4 public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/drupal/civicrm.module(339): CRM_Core_Invoke::invoke(Array) #5 [internal function]: civicrm_invoke('dashboard') #6 public_html/includes/menu.inc(348): call_user_func_array('civicrm_invoke', Array) #7 public_html/index in public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/IDS/Filter/Storage.php on line 217


If I uninstall the CiviCRM module, Drupal returns to normal behaviour. Lobo, Dave... anyone... I'm flailing about here!

The above means that Drupal is only allowed to use 20 MiB. Can you try putting the phpinfo() call in the public_html/modules/menu/menu.admin.inc file and check whether it still sees 96 MiB there?

you might want to try disabling some of the additional modules (suhosin, suphp etc) and see if that changes the memory situation

seems like the other scripts dont read the info from php.ini which is not normal behavior for most sites

Thanks Piotr & Lobo.

I'll try your suggestions and post back. Would having a memory_limit call in two separate php.ini files be a possible issue?

I've added a phpinfo{} call to one of the troublesome includes - returns a local memory_limit  of 96M and a mater value of 128M. Now  I'll turn off suphp and report back.

Now I can't get rid the phpinfo{}!!!!! I've deleted it from the include, but I guess it has been parsed to another file. I'm a bit of a dummy when it comes to PHP - does anyone know where it might be?

It means that you either left it in some other place or there’s some cache misconfiguration. Can you try reloading the page when bypassing the cache (by shift-clicking the reload button in the browser, for example)?
