php memory limit stressed in 'manage groups' module?

[asinshesq]

I just noticed that when I go to the acp and click 'manage groups' I get a white screen and this in my php error log:

Code: Select all

PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6144 bytes) in C:\Server\Apache2\htdocs\phpBB3_test\includes\functions_user.php on line 1872

That was easily fixed...I just increased the memory limit for php to 10M by changing the relevant line in my php.ini file to read like this:

Code: Select all

memory_limit = 10M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

But I'm wondering if others are experiencing this too. Is it supposed to consume that much memory? Why is manage groups so memory intensive? (I note that I don't run into this issue when I click manage users or any other module I have so far experimented with.)

Moderators, I don't think of this post as a support question (I have already fixed the problem), but if you disagree feel free to move it to the support area.

Yes I thought i also have got this error, but that was with an older CVS so i don't now how it works with the newest CVS version.

I got the same error on from the CVS from yesterday

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 10485760 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6144 bytes) in C:\wamp\www\phpBB2\phpBB2\includes\functions_user.php on line 1968

I tried editing the php.ini file and still the same result

That's something that tends to happen for some php versions on WAMP servers.

also have WAMP installed, have no problems on my webserver, but I too get this message on my installed wamp 1.7.0, doesn't happen all the time, but I did increase the memory limit seems to have helped,

How much did you increase memory to? And are you sure you stopped and restarted apache (or whatever your server is) so that it would read the new php.ini setting?

Curiously, the default memory limit in PHP5.2.1's php.ini-recommended is a whopping 128M.

Yes I stopped and started all services. The error changes dependant on the memory change
8MB

I get no error at 14MB

Ow.

I think I'd get annoyed if that were a common requirement.

I'd like to see a PHP script that uses all of that memory
