I'm having a mysterious problem at my web hosting provider, where maintenance/importImages.php is throwing an "out of memory" exception. Increasing PHP's memory limits doesn't seem to help. Has anyone experienced and solved this?
This hosting provider uses cpanel and jailshell. When I SSH into the system and, in jailshell, run the script, I get:
$ php importImages.php --overwrite ~ /upload
Import Images
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 7602176) (tried to allocate 7680 bytes) in /home/user/public_html/w/includes/filerepo/LocalFile.php on line 145
Now here's the strange part:
- Hand-editing importImages.php and adding ini_set( 'memory_limit', 'some huge amount' ) makes no difference at all.
- Adding a php.ini files in the current directory makes no difference
- Inside jailshell, on another server in the same farm, I can run the script without error.
- root can run the script without error (not in jailshell) anytime
Any clues?
