"Allowed memory size exhausted" piggybacking on existing Sphinx instance

  • I was hoping to piggyback on an existing (so far only toy-sized) Sphinx Search instance, pointing to the existing Sphinx config file and using a new table prefix for sphinx.

    Part way through the wizard, I got

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 775499114 bytes) in /home/MEMEME/webapps/appname/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-sphinx-plugin/php/sphinxapi.php on line 634

    This made my WordPress instance inaccessible, both via the frontend and the admin panel. Once I disabled the sphinx search plugin through the database, all is well, but without this plugin.

    I’m running on webfaction shared hosting with a 512mb ram limit.
