PHP memory limit

Posts: 2 · Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2007 8:44 pm

I'm successfully running MediaWiki on my Linux/CF account, but when I try to add a PHP calendar plug-in, I get a server error related to PHP memory. I wouldn't think that adding pages to a wiki would be super memory intensive, so I wonder if the limit is too low. How do I find out more and a solution?

I did just a tiny bit of digging and found out that MediaWiki is a resource hog. Then I started looking for another solution.

Being familiar (and loving) ExpressionEngine by pMachine, I installed it and the integral forum.

I used the forum for about 30 seconds when it threw the first error:

Code:

[Tue Feb 06 11:39:17 2007] [error] [client 24.196.193.99] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 933888 bytes)

Hello btw-nc

PHP memory is limited to 8 MB by default on shared hosting servers.. how many MB max of php memory you need and email support. They probably change it in your configuration..
