mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size exhausted
-
I’m wondering if anyone has encountered a PHP memory error when using the GDPR Framework plugin.
The error occurs for me when attempting to load the settings page in the WP admin area, under Tools. The settings page fails to load, ending only on a blank white screen.
The Apache logs shows that a PHP memory size error has occurred. Memory is exhausted regardless of the amount I allocate. I’ve tried up to 7GB, and the error logged each time changes each time, showing that the full allowance was consumed.
Tried deactivating all other plugins. Result was the same.
WP version is 5.0.3.
PHP Version is 5.6.33Error log entry at an allowance of 128M with a Max Execution time of 30 sec is (I’ve obscured the domain):
mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /var/www/vhosts/[domain]/dotnet/wp-includes/post.php on line 4616, referer: https://[domain]/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=all&paged=1&s
Error log entry at an allowance of 7G with a Max Execution time of 120 sec is (I’ve obscured the domain):
mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 7516192768 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /var/www/vhosts/[domain]/dotnet/wp-includes/post.php on line 4616, referer: https://[domain]/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=all&paged=1&s
This GDPR solution looks like great, and the initial setup screens I was able to complete implied all the features my client is looking for. But I’ve run out of ideas on getting past this memory error.
I’d greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

Following up in case someone comes across this in a search.
The issue seems to have been that the WordPress database had been damaged, possibly during a backup. AUTO_INCREMENT for many (possibly all) tables had been set to NULL, and would not accept being manually reset.
mod_fcgid was throwing errors because the database was broken.
The failure was subtle, because both the front and back ends of the the site displayed as expected. It was only during write operations that undesired behavior appeared.
The solution I used was to roll the database back to a known good state.
