Forum - Out of memory

Hi

today I visit my forum and i'm getting this fatal error from the forum telling me out of memory

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 60817408) (tried to allocate 7547 bytes) in /home/xxxxx/public_html/xxxxxx/modules/boonex/forum/inc/util.inc.php on line 223

how I can add more memory and where

Thank's

You may need to increase your PHP configuration's memory_limit to a higher amount. If you're on a shared hosting account, you may need to ask your host to do this for you.

When I got to this link  >> http://www.mysite.comt/forum/

is not working is giving me the fatal error

but when I go to these link they working fine

It may only happen on certain pages, depending on the content. This error is due to a low setting for memory_limit in your PHP configuration.

I talk to my hosting to see if they can change the limit to 512 or 1024

becuase when I got to  http://www.mysite.com/administration/host_tools.php

then >> Host Params

say

Memory           limit     64M                  Recommended 128M

and they also say this

Hello, 

PHP processes on Hostgator's shared servers are limited to 64 MB of memory per process. This is done to ensure that a PHP script on one person's account cannot deprive other users of the shared server of needed system resources. It would appear that your process has encountered this limitation. Other similar PHP settings are discussed at the following page:
http://support.hostgator.com/articles/cpanel/php-settings-that-cannot-be-changed

We would suggest contacting the script's author for support. PHP processes that legitimately need 64 MB of memory are quite rare, it is very possible that the script can be tuned to use much less memory.

If the script's author cannot help you, or is unwilling to help you, you may want to look into a Dedicated Server, or a VPS with hostgator. Since you are isolated from other customers, you can set your own limits for PHP processes without impacting others. 

Please feel free to write to Hostgator if there is anything else that we can do to assist you.

Best regards,

As I thought. 64M is far too little for Dolphin. I recommend you either switch to a VPS or dedicated server, or move to a host which is fully compatible with Dolphin.

Agreed. Dolphin requires at least 128M. I don't recommend anything less then 256M.

So if they are restricting you to only 64, then you have no choice but to dump them, or up to their VPS.

agree with you guys

but right now I don't have to much traffic and my site is not making money

for me look for VPS or dedicated server

I have before Vbulletin forum and Invision power board and I never have problem with something like this for me this is new

and I thing I'm going to delete the forum mod from my site because this is to mutch for me I been creating a lot topic to help my members how to use the site and know I feel like I been wasting my time creating topic I been fixing a lot stuf on my site and when you fix something in your site

then later you have to fix something in your site because is everytime is something new using dolphin

Dolphin requires a lot more resources than Invision Power Baord and vBulletin. You can remove the forums, but expect this issue to pop up again somewhere else in the future.

i Run a IPB on hostgator and i got the same reply as the new version of IPB requires at least 128, Hostgator wont allow you more memory, in fact its been my experience of hostgator that they dont like you running Dolphin on the shared servers at all.

If you need more than this you will have to up to a dedicated server, Luckily the IPB only uses anywhere near that amount when you are doing labour intensive stuff like importing templates so its fine, Dolphin though probably uses the full whack on lots of different processes, so just turning the forums off might help for a while but not for long..

Hostgator shared hosting will only cause you trouble for your Dolphin, it did me and that was the old version which was much less intensive than the new version.

That's suck

I don't know wat to do I'm totally stock with this now

and I don't want to switch for VPS or dedicate server now

when my site get more traffic and make more money why not but now I don't need VPS

I talk to my hosting people so I can get the forum working agin on my site and they say this

any idea wat I can do so he get it fix

any Idea wat I can tell my host so they get the forum working for me

Thank's

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

can some one tell me wat to do or so my host fix this

Thank'sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

I'm sure PHP's low memory_limit setting has something to do with it.

I will not matter. If your host is going to enforce this limited restriction on memory available to php scripts then dolphin will not run reliably anyway.

And now based on your last post, it appears they have limits on apache as well.

It is quite obvious what you need to do here.

Then there is this one. What is it we are supposed to tell you here? They are asking you if you installed any pluins prior to this happening. We don't know what you installed.

In any case this obviously is still the the same issue. And that issue is hostgators restrictions on memory use.

Hi Deano!

they set the memory from 64M to 128M

I got this last reply from the hostgator administrator

_______________________________________________

if they set to 128 why the forum still not working

It does sound like you have some dodgy or damaged scripting.

Is this since you upgraded to 7.03? Because I was having problems with my forums also after upgrade. I ended up uninstalling Orca, replacing the forums folder and its entire contents in modules and then re-installing the Orca Module.

You could try this if you don't have much in the way of forum discussions to lose, or backup your database table for your forum posts first.

I had a problem once before also with Hostgator and I just repaired my tables in PHPMyAdmin.

But all in all I run a site with over 2000 members on a shared hosting account with Hostgator without problem... Yet.... Touch Wood.

If you get out of memory error, you can never fix it. From my experience I understand that is the problem of this stupid dolphin software!

I still can get the forum to work

the only hing I hate about boonex you only get support from other members or moderators

I never see admin o developer helping people how to fix stupid craps like this one
