[SOLVED] 1.3 Appears to require more memory, is there a solution?

[Art-art]

Hi,

I faced some problems upgrading from 1.2.5 to 1.3.
Since overwriting of version 1.2.5 didn't work, I decided to install from scratch by installing a fresh 1.3 version. During installation cmsms now reports:

Code: Select all

Checking PHP memory limit.
You have 8M (min 16M, recommend 24M).
You may not have enough memory to run CMSMS correctly, or with all of your desired addons.
If possible, you should try to get your system admin to raise this value. Proceed with caution. 

My provider only allows me 8M . This seemed to be enough up to the last version.
Are there solutions? (besides moving to an other provider).

It's depending what you want to do - it's a preference in installer and it can be manipulated.

But be warned - maybe CMSms will have memory trouble.

If you want to use CMSms only on a minimal level it could help to deactivate and delete unused modules.

Arthur,

you could try to put

ini_set('memory_limit', '24M');

just inside the config.php, right after the <?php

Hi Cyberman & RonnyK,

Thanks for your replies. I'll make an other fresh install, see what modules seem unused (any suggestions on what might be candidates?) and modify the config.php-file.
I'll keep you posted on the result.

As I said it's depending what you want to do.

For instance a simple website for a firm with no spectacular things needs only MenuManager and TinyMCE (and maybe News).

It's seems that Ronnies suggestion:

you could try to put

ini_set('memory_limit', '24M');

just inside the config.php, right after the <?php

Works.

Thanks, Arthur

Coming version 1.4 will have an option in config.php for this ...
