PHP Memory Limits

[netquality]

Hi everyone,

I have a Linux VPS running with WHM/Cpanel from EUKHost. It has 512meg of RAM and I have set the PHP memory limit to 96meg. When I run phpinfo() it shows the memory limit as 96 meg as expected.

However, I have a gd script and it is running out of memory when it exceeds 16 meg. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this could be?

Many thanks, Ian

Hi,

Only a guess, but do you have a .htaccess file where your script lives that limits the php memory? I'm not sure if the memory limit in a .htaccess overrides what is in the php.ini.

Hi there,

thanks for your reply. No, I have not changed memory in either .htaccess nor via a php.ini file. As I say, when I run phpinfo() it shows the memory limit as 96M as expected. However, scripts are falling over when they reach 16M.

Hi all,

just to let you know I have discovered the answer. There is a feature in WHM which limits the amount of memory a process uses in Apache (so doesn't show up in PHP variables). So I added a main.local file, commented out the RLimitMEM line and rebuilt httpd.conf and everything works as expected now.

Kind regards, Ian
