PHP – How to Resolve Memory Limit Issues in Magento 2.1.7

cpanelmagento-2.1.7PHP

hey guys i have a problem running Meagento commands setup & compile because of memory limit it's 256.

i have requested from the hosting company to increase my memory limit to 1024MB and they did. i can see the change on php.ini file at root folder in cpanel.

but when i ran the commands i got the same errors again of memory limit so i checked the limit with

php -r "echo ini_get('memory_limit').PHP_EOL;"

i found that it is still 256MB. Is there any place where in my Magento that this limit is saved ???

any help please i'm stuck

Try these command:

php -dmemory_limit=1G bin/magento setup:upgrade
php -dmemory_limit=1G bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
php -dmemory_limit=1G bin/magento setup:di:compile

Magento – PHP.ini and htaccess files missing 1.9 magento

Depending on your hosting company, you may or may not be able to change the settings via htaccess or your own custom php.ini file.

If your manual changes have crashed the site, or you get a 500 Error, you may not be able to override the memory_limit setting provided by your host. You should contact your hosting company if that is the case.

Either just re-download the magento version your using to grab the files, or i've pasted them below from the newest version (1.9.1):

php.ini:

; This file is for CGI/FastCGI installations.
; Try copying it to php5.ini, if it doesn't work

; adjust memory limit

memory_limit = 64M

max_execution_time = 18000

; disable magic quotes for php request vars

magic_quotes_gpc = off

; disable automatic session start
; before autoload was initialized

flag session.auto_start = off

; enable resulting html compression

zlib.output_compression = on

; disable user agent verification to not break multiple image upload

suhosin.session.cryptua = off

; turn off compatibility with PHP4 when dealing with objects

zend.ze1_compatibility_mode = off

; PHP for some reason ignores this setting in system php.ini 
; and disables mcrypt if this line is missing in local php.ini

extension=mcrypt.so

; Disable PHP errors, notices and warnings output in production mode to prevent exposing sensitive information.

display_errors = Off

Magento – How to change the memory limit for php

PHP's memory_limit setting should have no effect on Magento's performance. It only sets the high threshold of memory usage by PHP processes, and if Magento hogs more memory than that limit, you will get errors, but it changing it won't make things faster.

I would strongly advice against modifying memory_limit to anything other than the recommended value unless you know what you're doing. Setting it too low may cause some of your Magento pages to crash, and setting it too high might cause your entire server to slow down to a halt in extreme cases.

Instead, I would advise searching the Web on some tips on how to optimize Magento's performance. There are many relevant posts that can point you in the right direction. This post on my company's blog is one example, but there are many others. Enabling various forms of caching, using a CDN and optimizing your DB settings are probably the first places you want to look into.

BTW, I would also strongly advise against posting your server's phpinfo() output publicly for security reasons. You should remember to delete that file as soon as you can.
