Hi can anyone advise why i keep getting the following error

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 44 bytes) in /var/www/vimp/data/lib/symfony/plugins/sfPropelPlugin/lib/vendor/propel-generator/classes/propel/engine/database/model/XMLElement.php on line 68

when executing ./symfony framework:init mysql://admin:<adminpassword>@localhost/showvid

i have changed the php memory limit in both the php.ini and cli and still getting the same error, the task starts and gets as far as

propel > om-template:

then displays

thanks

Hello,

what´s your linux-distribution. Are you using any Server-Administration-Software like e.g. Plesk, confixx etc.?

How does your memory_limit entry look?
In a php.ini-file it has to look exactly like this:

Code:

memory_limit = 512M

You can set a higher value up to 2047M. Don´t forget the "=" and don´t set something like 512MB, or 512 or so.

Cheers,

Thanks for your swift response

i am on debian squeeze - i am using no server admin software

in my php.ini i have memory_limit = 1024M
i have tried changing this ranging between 64 1024

in my cli php.ini i have memory_limit = -1

thanks

could it be this is on a test local box with only 1 gig of ram?

Hello ianj,

please set in php.ini for cli:

memory_limit = 1024M

, too. I don´t know why, but -1 seems not to work here. I always change this.

Cheers,

after setting this i get the error

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 261900 bytes) in Unknown on line 0
Could not startup.

Hello ianj,

Then I´m pretty sure your Server is too small.

You are sure, you´ve set the correct memory_limit in /etc/php5/cli/php.ini ?

But if you have a vServer with 1GB RAM, it´s very small.
But in regular it´s possible to install with 1 GB RAM.

Regards,
