PHP Actual Configuration Memory Limit

WordPress forum rules frown on discussing web hosts so I can only post general technical information about your host. Also this www.remarpro.com forum is for the BPS free plugin and WordPress frowns on discussing premium plugins in their forums. So for future BPS Pro questions, please post them in the BPS Pro forum site here: https://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/forum/bulletproof-security-pro/

I checked your host’s PHP Server memory package options and the Standard account shows 16MB server memory, the Professional account shows 64MB and the Premium account shows 256MB.

If you do not know the answers to any of these questions then please ask your host for the answers.
Which hosting account package do you have? Standard, Professional or Premium?
What type of hosting account do you have? Shared, VPS, Dedicated?
Does your web host allow you to create custom php.ini files for your website/hosting account?
Does your web host allow you to edit the PHP server’s default php.ini file?

If your host allows you to create a custom php.ini file or edit the server’s default php.ini file then you can change the memory_limit setting (if they allow that) and the Allow URL fopen setting in a php.ini file.

Please post all the answers to these questions so that I can assist you further.

Hi, I have Premium – 256MB / shared. Custom php.ini are not alowed, editting current php.ini is also not allowed.

As I said, I do have 256MB php memory limit. The only problem is maybe non standard way how they set it. Local 256/ master 16. They say it is becouse the master value covers all the hostings on the server, the premium ones are set by the local value.

Thanks, Pavel.

Just to add, we run here about 20 web sites, some are membership sites with over 10 000 registered users. There is no way this would work with 16MBs. Also wp and other plugins see the 256MB.

Regards, Pavel.

Edit|Update: we were posting at the same time. Yep I came to the exact same conclusion – your website is performing very good so obviously the memory limit setting is fine. ??

hmm ok that is unusual to me. So maybe they are doing some type of server configuration thing that I do not know about. Typically the Local and Master memory_limit settings would both be 256M in order for your website to actually have 256M available to you for your website. Your website performance is very good and if you only had 16M memory available for your website then your website performance would be terrible.

So since you cannot edit php.ini files on your server then the Allow URL fopen setting is not a big deal. It is just an additional security measure that is not critical.

Yes, other four hosts we use do have the sam local and master values. But this one is quite good in other things. I think BPS believes it has only 16M as it derives this from the master value. So my concern is whether BPS will restrict itself to 16M and will not run properly. I have set the 256M in ini_set Options so there is the directive @ini_set(‘memory_limit’,’256M’); in the wp-config.php.

So my question is will the BPS limit itself to 16 or will it run with 256?

Thanks,
Pavel.

BPS is checking the Master memory_limit setting since typically that is the accurate memory limit setting for a website. In your site’s/server’s case you can just disregard that. This is only a check on the BPS System Info page and not setting anything anywhere in BPS or your website. @ini_set(‘memory_limit’,’256M’); affects the Local memory_limit setting and cannot affect the Master memory_limit setting since that can only be changed in a php.ini file.

OK, thanks again, Pavel.

Your welcome.

Just an additional FYI.
WordPress Admin Memory Limit: this is the Local memory limit
WordPress Base Memory Limit: this is the memory limit allocated to WP
PHP Actual Configuration Memory Limit: this is the Master memory limit

Good to have it sorted :-). I must say this all BPS is not only excellent security option, it is also great learning source. It is no way as the others. I tested them all and this is the first time I actually feel we have the security in our hands and under our control. It is all very much worth the energy.

All the best, Pavel.

Thanks for the Kudos! Fact not Hype: The track record for BPS Pro over the last 4 years is so good we cannot post that information/stats publicly because nobody would believe the numbers/percentage. ??
