Exhausting Memory ≥ 2GB

[inteldigital]

I recently migrated to a VPS, running CentOS 7 +cPanel/WHM. I upgraded to CloudLinux as soon as possible, my WHMCS installation was somehow broken, I decided to install a fresh version of WHMCS on realising it was time for 7.5. I am running PHP version 7.2 through MultiPHP manager, with ioncube 10.1.0. I am seeing error 500 on accessing my URL, nothing works. In the error log I am seeing this:

This is impossible on a fresh installation right? How can it possibly be using 2GB of memory? 

How do I get this working, I am literally pulling me hair out trying to solve this for 2 days.

Sounds like you have set the PHP directive for memory_limit wrong in the php.ini or user.ini file.

Set this to 128M, should work:

memory_limit = 128M

I set it to 2048mb, and it's still exhausting it. I don't think 128mb will make any difference?

[imaticon]

wrong: 2048mb

correct: 2048M

You realise it's all the same right? You don't actually add anything on to the end of the numbers in the PHP file.

 

Can someone with some real insight provide some clues here?

No, really?

http://php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php

(Search for memory_limit)

 "MB" is not valid, it must be "M"

If you dont specify "M" then the value is interpreted as bytes and not Megabytes. If you prefer not adding the required letter "M" to indicate Megabytes then you have to set the correct value for Bytes: 128M = 134217728

128MB set to 128M :)

I was actually missing anything of the end at all.

memory_limit = 2048

You have literally solved an issue I was having for the past 2 days, support at my VPS provider didn't have a clue, and you have just solved it. WOW.

Give me your PayPal address I will buy you a beer. Extremely appreciate this. This is my first VPS and it's unmanaged so I'm into the deep end, rookie error.

No worries, you're welcome and I'm glad to hear your success!
