Fatal error: Out of Memory

Hi,

Check with these options:

1) Please check php.ini file in the root/public_html folder of your site. Open php.ini file in text editor and change the values for memory_limit. By default it should see memory_limit = 8M. Try changing it to 12M. if it wil not resolve the problem then try to increase it either 16M or 24M.

2) If you can’t find the php.ini file, open up the PHP file which requires more memory and add this line just after ini_set(’memory_limit’, ‘12M’); we can increase memory upto 16M or 24M to resolve the issue. But do it try with 12M first.

3) In last, open the .htaccess file from the root/public_html folder and add this line php_value memory_limit 12M

From anyone of these trick you can work and rid out from the PHP error. You can increase memory limit according to your requirement.

Thanks,

Shane G.

Thanks Shane

I have tried the 1st and 3rd options, not sure what is meant by the 3rd one.

1) from my php.ini in the root folder:
memory_limit = 64M

3) from my .htaccess file in the root folder:
php_value memory_limit 64M

Not sure about 2 – what line is entered after what?
“add this line just after ini_set(’memory_limit’, ‘12M’);”

is (’memory_limit’, ‘12M’); entered on another line after ini_set ???

I have trying to upgrade since version 2.8.2, getting fed up with failures now, as other things are also giving me memory errors.

Can’t get past the Fatal error: Out of memory
Normally it comes up in http.php on or after line 1324 (there is no memory set value in this file – can/should one be added?)

Always errors around the 18mb mark.
Running phpinfo:-
Configuration
PHP Core
memory_limit 64M 64M

This occurs if I try to upgrade WordPress, some plugins, or try to edit a page which now has a ‘large’ amount of text on it (as a txt file = <10kb)

Update – “Memory Bump” works as far as allowing me to edit my previously edit panel-free page, but not for the install of v3.0

In the .htaccess file, where exactly do I add the memory limit line?

This first error message I got said that the php file in question was wp-includes/meta.php. So I tried to open this first but didn’t find the location where to add the line (“just after ini_set” as suggested by Shane G).

So I decided to do the .htaccess file route instead.

This is how my .htaccess file looked after adding the line at the end: (Is this correct?)

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress
php_value memory_limit 64M

I saved this then refreshed. But when I went back to my wp-admin, I got this error message: Internal Server Error ??

Now, I can’t access my sites (both actual sites and wp-admins) with the domain name in question, all of them showing this internal error message. (Panic mode!!!)

Would greatly appreciate your help Shane G, or anybody please….desperately need help.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, I contacted my host and he told me that my memory limit is already 64M. I was also able to check it myself via phpinfo. I was also told that since I’m on shared hosting, I can’t go beyond 64M anymore.

Now I am already able to access my sites and wp-admin. However, I still see this message whenever I add a new site using a new subdomain:

fatal error: out of memory (allocated 66846720) (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/maxlife/public_html/healthydinnerrecipesreview.com/wp-includes/meta.php on line 310

How do I address this please?

add this to top of wp-config.php right after opening <?php
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');
this should give you temp memory increases as needed

Thanks for the quick reply. I did what you said, added the line to the top and this is how the upper part looks like after the edit:
<?php
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);
/**

However, I still got this error message after I refreshed and tried to create a new site:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 67108864) (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/maxlife/public_html/healthydinnerrecipesreview.com/wp-includes/meta.php on line 310

Would you have other suggestions please?

Thanks again…

OK, my problem just got solved!!!

Got it from this https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/fatal-error-out-of-memory-messages?replies=24#post-1929111, thought I’d share it with you guys :

?THIS TO BE ENTERED IN THE WP-CONFIG FILE WHICH IS IN THE ROOT OF THE WORDPRESS SETUP:
ENTER AFTER:?define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
THE FOLLOWING:

define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

I ALSO CREATED A PHP.INI WHICH I UPLOADED TO THE PLUGIN FOLDER IN WP-CONTENT:

memory_limit = 128M; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)?
max_execution_time = 45;?
upload_max_filesize = 10M;?
post_max_size = 20M;

Hope this helps!
