Image.php and Fatal Error

  • Ok, so, I’m having the fatal error memory allocation problem, and after much troubleshooting and forum scrounging, I located the problem to be both: 1. I don’t have the ability to have my host increase Php file size to more than 14mb’s, and 2. the problem I’m having is specifically related to the amount of images I have uploaded to my wordpress media library.

    Therefore, even if I had my memory increased to 32 or 64mb’s on another server, the image.php file will eventually fill up too as I upload more and more images.

    The only way I could foresee how to fix this problem is to create multiple image.php files, as one fills up, I could switch to a new image.php file (i.e. 0 out of 14mb’s used). Is this even possible? I wouldn’t know how to do this.

    Does this make sense? I’ve looked everywhere for a workaround for this problem, but it doesn’t seem to have a solution.

  • It’s not the file that’s the issue. I think it’s the amount of work it is having to do each time it accesses the (presumably) quite large Media Library. So multiple copies of image.php won’t help.

    Have you considered storing some of your images elsewhere? On Flickr, for example?

    Well, I just spoke with BlueHost.com (i’m currently with 1and1.com) and it turns out that BlueHost doesn’t have a PHP file size limit at all (i.e. unlimited), which pretty much solves my problem!

    If I’m missing something, or you just want to confirm that this is correct, please do. Thanks for reading.

    Well, I did wonder if a change of host mightn’t be the best long-term solution but didn’t want to state the obvious. ??

    Yes, I’ve looked into and (with my most recent blog post) am currently using Pict.com to host my image files, but I find the extra step tedious and the embedding removes some formatting flavor that my theme provides.

    Am I wrong to want to use the media library solely? Is this uncommon, or do people generally have to use some other service to host their pictures?

    I suppose it depends upon how many images they want to use and how big the images are. The more files and the bigger, the more likely that they’ll use an external site.

    Agreed with esmi. It depends mostly on how many images there are and the size of the images. Also, my sites are hosted with BlueHost and, while they do not have a limit on the php filesize, I think they do have a limit on the memory allowed to be used by a single php script. It is somewhere around 128M or 256M I believe, but I’ve never managed to use that much to test out where it maxes out at.

    good deal. It sounds like bluehost is the correct way to go with wordpress, regardless. thanks everyone.
