Magento – Magento running out of memory

magento-1.8memory

Every time I am getting the following message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried
to allocate 81 bytes) in /public_html/lib/Varien/Object.php on line
270

However, I already have php_value memory_limit 2048M in my .htaccess .which is kinda ridiculous.

Is there a way to see why its using loads of memory?

Best Answer

To see current memory limit you can use php function phpinfo()

I assume setting memory limit with .htaccess file is not supported at the sever, so you can try other options:

1) In the file index.php add line

ini_set('memory_limit', '2048M');

2) For the cgi/fastcgi run mode you can try to add file .user.ini as follows:

memory_limit = 2048M

After this please re-start web server or manually remove already running process.

3) If you have access to the php.ini file, then you can adjust the memory_limit value in this file also.

If all options do not work, please call you hosting provider support team :)

It looks to me based on what you state at the start (run reindex all) that you are currently using the command line shell/index.php to do your reindexing.

In the default configuration of servers, PHP runs two ini files one which deals with command line, and one which deals with your web server. So the .htaccess information would not actually be used.

Depending on your server configuration, there are a few places that the file may exist so if you have a look in

/etc/php

/etc/php5

You will hopefully find a sub directory structure which reveals a cli folder perhaps under conf.d and within that you will have the php.ini file which is used to configure the CLI tool you are using. This file needs to have the value for memory_limit increased.

If you run a phpinfo() from the CLI you may find it will tell you in the output the actual ini file loaded (and of course the information to do with the current values.

Hope that helps.

You can add the following in index.php - make sure the log file path is correct

function shutdownCapture() {
    global $lastQueryString;
    $error = error_get_last();
    if ($error !== null && strpos($error['message'], 'Allowed memory size') !== false) {
      file_put_contents(MAGENTO_ROOT.'/var/log/oom.log', print_r(array($lastQueryString, $_REQUEST, $_SERVER, $error), true), FILE_APPEND);
      mail('info@examplecom', 'Server Memory Error', print_r(array($lastQueryString, $_REQUEST, $_SERVER, $error), true), 'Cc: mycolleague@example.com');
    }
}
register_shutdown_function('shutdownCapture');

and set these variables in the last reported function where the error occurs

+       global $lastQueryString;
+       $lastQueryString = $this->_stmt->queryString;
