Hello guys,

I have this error here when I wanna access my categories selection as an admin what is this???


Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted at (null):0 (tried to allocate 25645 bytes) in /home/jafcodbf/www.jaf-community.de/imagegallery/catmgr.php on line 383

try using one of the unmodified standard themes that come with coppermine to make sure this is not related to your theme (e.g. by going to http://www.jaf-community.de/imagegallery/catmgr.php?theme=classic ) You will have to temporarily upload the classic theme for debugging purposes, as it doesn't exist on your server. Did you apply any modifications to catmgr.php? If not, I suggest replacing the file on your server with a fresh one (maybe the file has got corrupted).

I have upload the classic theme and also a new catmgr.php but it doesn't wanna work and any modifications I don't have on catmgr.php.

Now it shows me another error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted at (null):0 (tried to allocate 25864 bytes) in /home/jafcodbf/www.jaf-community.de/imagegallery/catmgr.php on line 212

Do you have a huge amount of categories and pictures in your database?  This error usually means something is asking PHP to process too much information all at once.  You can try increasing the memory_limit variable in your php.ini to see if that helps.

[deejaymoni]

Yeah I have 12703 images in 438 albums and 267 categories it a huge gallery that is just the beginning.

So that could be memory_limit error but why that?

[kegobeer]

PHP is tasked to read all the category information in, and with that many categories it could simply be running out of memory.  Increasing the memory size may fix your problem.

[deejaymoni]

I don't have any php.ini to change something where I have to change the memory limit?

[Joachim Müller]

If the server isn't yours to configure, asl your webhost / server admin for support. If they refuse to change the setting, you'll have to consider switching webhosts I'm afraid.

I have hosted the server and I have access to it but I'm not a prof so have somebody any ideas how could I change it???

[Tranz]

If you're hosting it on your computer, you should do a search for the file 'php.ini' throughout your computer.

[Joachim Müller]

as a sidenote: imo you shouldn't be hosting your site yourself (i.e. run a webserver) if you have no idea about such basic things as the php.ini file. I strongly recommend reviewing the whole idea of self-hosting and consider proper webhosting instead.

If someone DOES have a huge Gallery Like that, and they can't change the hosts config, what about breaking up the content and running multiple CPG installs?

Thats got to be a pretty overwhelming amount of categories and albums to go through, I'm sure they could come up with some larger META catagories and run them out of different cpg installs.

[Joachim Müller]

If the host refuses to change settings in php.ini to something that makes sense, you're probably with some low-budget host. You can't expect to run a resources consuming, high-impact site on a low profile budget host. Making your mind up about splitting coppermine into different bits is imo the wrong way to address this issue; instead you should switch hosts, or just simply pay the host for what you're up to. If you can't afford to drive a Porsche, there's no point to buy two Volkswagen Beetle and stick them together and pretend to have a Porsche.

hehe true well I have a server hosted at strato with 160 GB webspace. It's a porsche but not a ferrari ^^ And I think too it doesn't make a sence to use cpg as a multisite system with different cpgs with different users and different boards because I have installed also a bridge between phpbb and cpg.

I have to figure it out what would be the right config for php.ini I have changed some things especially the memory limit but it doesn't wan't too work and the gallery is at the moment so huge with 36000 images well I hope I find finally a way or I buy a book for me called "PHP.INI FOR NEWBIES". ^^
