[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Fatal error: Out of memory and duplicate files uploaded

for the memory increase, there is also the .htaccess file in your WP root directory that can have an added memory declaration (not sure if it will be redundant with the line you un-commented, but may be worth a try)…

Add this line to the top of .htaccess:

php_value memory_limit 128M

(I don’t know about the multiple image problem though… have you tried to upload via FTP program?)

hi,
i tried this:

php_value memory_limit 128M

but get a server error:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

further info,

looking at the code again,

line 179 is actual this one:
$this->oldImage = ImageCreateFromJpeg($this->fileName);

164	 @ini_set('memory_limit', '128M');
165
166		if($this->error == false) {
167        // Check memory consumption if file exists
168			$this->checkMemoryForImage($this->fileName);
169		}
170
171       //initialize resources if no errors
172        if($this->error == false) {
173
174            switch($this->format) {
175                case 'GIF':
176         $this->oldImage = ImageCreateFromGif($this->fileName);
177                    break;
178                case 'JPG':
179         $this->oldImage = ImageCreateFromJpeg($this->fileName);
180                   break;
181               case 'PNG':
182         $this->oldImage = ImageCreateFromPng($this->fileName);
183					break;
184            }

now i get another error line 731:

726 function rotateImage( $dir = 'CW' ) {
727
728		$angle = ($dir == 'CW') ? 90 : -90;
729
730	if ( function_exists('imagerotate') ) {
731     $this->workingImage = imagerotate($this->oldImage, 360 - $angle, 0); // imagerotate() rotates CCW
732	        $this->currentDimensions['width']  = imagesx($this->workingImage);
733	    	$this->currentDimensions['height'] = imagesy($this->workingImage);
734    	    $this->oldImage = $this->workingImage;
735			$this->newImage = $this->workingImage;
736			return true;
737		}

think i may have solved this (for the time being anyway)

there seemed to be a problem with images with a number on the end.
maybe because the system automatically deals with duplicates by adding a number and it sees a number and just keeps going?

i renamed the files (no numbers at end) and seems ok now.

also had to delete folder and start again in some cases too.
