Fatal Error - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

I-See · 4th February 2007, 05:16 PM

Just tried my first post in the Electronic Projects Design/Ideas/Reviews area and get this

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 131072 bytes) in /home/httpd/vhosts/electro-tech-online.com/httpdocs/includes/functions_search.php on line 187

Ghosts in the machine? There's a few other users noticing a couple odd problems (unrelated) that have posted, I'm wondering if the PHP software being used isn't overly stable.

I wonder if it's perhaps because the search has been extended to include searching for smaller words? - which uses LOT'S and LOT'S more space and resources!.

That error doesn't make any sense.

8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 131072 bytes)

Wtf, so 8MiB has been exhausted because it tried to allocate only 128KiB and both amounts of data are miniscule cosidering the server probably has 2GB of memory (or so I hope).

**Nigel Goodwin** · 4th February 2007, 07:11 PM

Presumably all the servers memory isn't allocated to a single user?.

By the looks of the error message the PHP processor only has 8M available, and the request for an extra 128K has taken it over that limit.

ElectroMaster should get three more servers...

Having too much power is better than not having enough...

Hero999 · 4th February 2007, 08:30 PM

There again money is probably the issue.

He could always try some more efficient forum software, maybe even some free & open source software.

Marks256 · 4th February 2007, 10:40 PM

Servers look cooler, though...

Were you a member back before VBulletin?.

Marks256 · 5th February 2007, 12:09 AM

I bet that was horrible...

**ElectroMaster** · 7th February 2007, 04:16 AM

Yeah the PHPBB forum that we used to use was a dog compared to this! I've recently increased the Memory allocation from 8M to 16M. If you guys experience this still please paste the error so i can see how much memory was needed for that function.

Thanks for reporting this guys.

Is this being hosted on your own server, ElectroMaster?

You seem obsessed with this at the moment mark?

Have you never heard of 'whois'?, it makes quite interesting reading!.

Don't even go there!, it's a VERY controversial subject!, there's even a lot of doubt such a thing even exists - many children have been mis-diagnosed with ADHD and doped out of their heads accordingly!.
