File Upload Memory Limit

[rick02840]

I have a Standard Reseller account with about 15 small sites on it.

 

Almost all of the sites are Drupal sites - fairly memory intensive (32MB is recommended) - thought again they are very small, low traffic sites.

 

On one of them, I am getting this error when uploading images:

 

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 10368 bytes) in /home/ethnicne/public_html/includes/image.inc on line 308

 

The file I was uploading was a JPG image, only 607KB - not that big.

 

Searching Drupal forums says this is due to memory limits on the server.

 

But I see memory limit is 32MB which should be enough.

 

Questions:

 

1. Any ideas?

2. Any way to get more memory (even at additional cost)?

 

Thanks,

 

Rick

 

Update: I think the issue is not with file size but with pixel size - still looking into....

The size limit of 2MB is set on the servers but you can upload larger files modifying your .htaccess file and inlcude the following for 10MB

 

>php_value max_execution_time 1200
php_value memory_limit 30M
php_value post_max_size 10M
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M

Thanks Bruce,

 

That's good to know that I can alter max file size without having to get into php.ini.

 

I have now narrowed it down to be due to the pixel size, not file size. I had set max pixel size (in Drupal) as 1600, so I was not surprised to get an error message, but would have expected some kind of friendly Drupal error message, such as "you've exceeded the maximum allowable dimensions of 1600 x 1600" not the message I got, which looked more like a PHP/server message. Trying to figure out why (in Drupal) that happened.

 

Anyhow, thanks again.
