got a memory related problem

  • I’ve got a plugin that gives me an out of memory error. it used to work. can’t remember having updated anything meanwhile.

    deactivated all other plugins, still same error.

    error is:

    [Wed Jun 01 09:43:44 2011] [warn] [client 85.214.229.212] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 31457280 bytes) in /var/www/clients/clientxx/webxx/web/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 930

    php memory limit was 256M upped it to 512M ans still the same error.

    looked at wp-db.php and line 930 looks like it wants to alert me to a DB error but it never gets to do so…

    any ideas how to figure out what is going wrong here?

  • Try increasing the memory available to PHP:

    thanks but I should have mentioned that this is running on my own root server, so yes, I know how to change the memory limits.

    the point is I could change it from 512M to 1024M but that is HUGE and I don’t think that would solve the problem, that would just make the error go away… while some script is still somehow using more than 512M of memory…

    or maybe I misunderstood your suggestion?

    It could be a server config issue given that the memory that was needed was actually lower that the reported memory available.

    ah, not sure you’re getting the issue or I am not able to describe iut properly but whatever I set as max. the system tells me it it needs just a little more than is allowed….

    i.e. I upped it just for the sake of testing it:

    [Thu Jun 02 01:20:57 2011] [warn] [client 85.214.229.212] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 1073741824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 31457280 bytes) in /var/www/clients/clientxx/webxx/web/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 930

    so any advice how to debug and find out what exactly the problem is? as far as I remember I haven’t upgraded any plugins since it stopped working only wp 3.1.2 to wp 3.1.3 but I don’t think its related.

    not sure you’re getting the issue

    Oh – I am. Just look at the memory that was needed compared to the memory that was available.

    Allowed memory size of 1073741824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 31457280 bytes)

    means 1073741824 bytes were being used when 31457280 bytes more tried to be allocated but since it was all used up, they couldn’t be allocated. hence the error.

    there is no memory available mentioned anywhere here ??
