CiviCRM Installer Memory Allocated Check

[emilyf]

Hi,

I am doing a new CiviCRM installation of 2.0 on a drupal site. In running through the installer, it continues to tell me:

Memory allocated (PHP config option 'memory_limit')   CiviCRM needs a minimum of 32M allocated to PHP, but recommends 64M. You only have 32M allocated

However, my memory is set at 64M and I have verified this in phpinfo:

memory_limit   64M   64M

Originally it was only at 32M, but I increased it, verified it, and yet the installer is not noticing. I tried restarting the installer instead of just rechecking requirements, but it still gets it wrong.

Do you think this is a bug? What is the installer running to get this number?

According to drupal/install/index.php, the installer uses ini_get('memory_limit') to check the limit, and this should work.

if memory_limit is reported as 64M in phpinfo(), but the installer sees 32M, then maybe the PHP is being run in a different context? Is there any .htaccess file that could impact this, for example?

Can you put the file with the phpinfo() call into the drupal/install directory and make sure it reports 64M when in there?

Add the following line to your .htaccess file in the Drupal root.

Code: [Select]

php_value memory_limit 64M
Attached file 'htaccess[AFTER].txt' is an example of .htaccess file for Drupal 6.4 & PHP 5, Apache 1 and 2. I couldn't upload the file '.htaccess' to this comment so I renamed it 'htaccess[AFTER].txt'.

thanks this worked at treat, it would be nice if the installer gave you the instructions to fix the problem, or maybe a link
