php.ini memory_limit

[trolley]

I'm running Roundcube on a Debian box that has the following line in the php.ini:

Code Select Expand

memory_limit = 8M   ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)
I've found that when opening emails with even modest sized attachments (~3MB) Roundcube runs out of memory. In fact I have to raise this memory limit considerably (I've currently settled on 48MB) to be able to open an attachment that is 5.2MB. What is the recommended size for this memory limit for use with Roundcube? Will I have problems with it being set so high?

No problems setting it high, unless your system is not a high-end system (having little RAM). So 48 is okay, 32 is what most people would use. But it's up to you. Hopefully in the future the attachments won't be read at the same time as the mail

Hi Brett,

I've been frantically asking questions on SMF and Tiny Portal about a problem that's started on my forum, with one of two different messages:

Stack overflow at line: 426
Out of memory at line: 397

Load time greatly increased and having to click off the error message means the forum is basically unusable. The problem shows in IE6 but NOT in the latest Firefox!

Advice to increase memory in my PHP.INI file to 16M has not helped.

I've now got these lines in PHP.INI:

Code Select Expand

register_globals = off
allow_url_fopen = off
max_execution_time = 30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 32M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)
still without success.

I'm at a loss to know what else to do. Some webpages talk about Apache having to be restarted or something. GoDaddy where I have Linux hosting use Apache I think. I don't know if this has anything to do with anything, but I'm sure getting DESPERATE!

GoDaddy is a registrar... it's what they do best.... hosting is not their forte...

A good solid host would work better than godaddy.

Not sure of what your next steps should be... i'd ask GoDaddy and see what they say. If you need a good host, I suggest Servage.net

where is this file located? i think i need to up my limit as well...

Browse your machine for php.ini
On Linux: locate php.ino
