Hello AngelLaw,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.

I know this is referencing the MySQL process, but I believe it’s PHP that is handling this request and so it’s PHP that is running out of memory.

Can you check out this article and try increasing the memory?

Please let me know how this works out.

Cheers,

Thank you Shane but the article doesn’t point to a solution for increasing the memory. Do you know if that is done through EE?

Hello AngelLaw,

You will want to contact your hosting company if you are on shared hosting. They will need to increase the memory.

If you are not using a shared hosting environment, these are the settings you will want to look into.

memory_limit
This sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes that a script is allowed to allocate.
Default size 5.3 in is “8M”

post_max_size (must be greater than upload_max_filesize)
Sets max size of post data allowed. This setting also affects file upload.
Default size in 5.3 is “128M”

upload_max_filesize
The maximum size of an uploaded file.

max_execution_time
This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to run before it is terminated by the parser.
Default setting in 5.3 is “30”

I believe you will want to increase memory_limit.

Cheers,
