Mike Borozdin	Monday 07 June 2010 12:52:28 am Hi, I have problems installing Exponential 4.30, every time I press the "Fine Tune" button or the "Install" one, I get a memory exhaustion error. But I've increased the amount of available memory to PHP from 128M to 512M and still get the same error.
Christian Rößler	Monday 07 June 2010 1:13:35 am Hy and welcome to eZ-Community :-) After changing php-memory-limits or doing other changes to the php.ini, make sure to reload/restart your webserver to make changes taking effect. Speaking of the php.ini, what ini did you modify? The cli or the apache one? What webserver/system did you use (apache on linux or iis on windoze) ? Such error is very well known here, so searching for "php memory limit" should point you to several good threads too. cheers, chris Hannover, Germany eZ-Certified http://auth.ez.no/certification/verify/395613
Mike Borozdin	Monday 07 June 2010 2:20:10 am Hi Chris, Yes, I did restart my server after modifying php.ini. I modified the CLI one, I think (the one that is in the PHP folder). My setup: Windows 7 Apache 2.2 PHP 5.2.3
Christian Rößler	Monday 07 June 2010 3:06:59 am hehe, modifiying the CLI php.ini is wrong :-) Cli php.ini is for your commandline based php (scripts, cronjobs, ...) There should be another php.ini which is used by the webserver. Php (and those websites as Exponential) runs as a sort of plugin in the webserver. Thus the webserver needs to have a php.ini too. In linux/debian you should have the following files: /etc/php5/apache/php.ini is the one you need to edit for Exponential. /etc/php5/cli/php.ini is the one for cronjobs, and common commandline-php scripts. I don't know the locations on windows7 and IIS. My guess is you hit the wroong php.ini. Utilize a simple php-test-script using "phpinfo();" (google it if you need help) to determine the exact location of the php.ini used by windows-webserver. chris Hannover, Germany eZ-Certified http://auth.ez.no/certification/verify/395613
Mike Borozdin	Monday 07 June 2010 4:42:03 am Chris, It wasn't the CLI php.ini, because when I run phpinfo() it showed me I had 512M of memory allocated to PHP.
Christian Rößler	Monday 07 June 2010 8:25:40 am mmmhhh, did you manage to put "phpinfo()" into a php file and called this php-file in your browser? My guess would be that the vhost configured in IIS did not load the correct/corresponding php-ini. This in turn loads the default php-settings which is not sufficient for Exponential. My solution would be: view php-info output via a browser, not cli get the location of the loaded ini-file edit this ini-file reload webserver check settings again do loop until correct As I dont have any experience with combination iis/php/Exponential/windows i cannot help any further at this point. sorry mike. -- Chris Hannover, Germany eZ-Certified http://auth.ez.no/certification/verify/395613
Mike Borozdin	Tuesday 08 June 2010 12:32:31 am Chris, Yes, it is in the browser. I've never used PHP CLI, sorry for confusion. And I also wrote above that I was using Apache, not IIS.
