MediaWiki also sets a php.ini memory limit. Check

LocalSettings.php comes with # ini_set( 'memory_limit', '20M' );,

too large to be causing this problem, and it's commented out by default
anyway. maintenance/commandLine.inc comes with ini_set( 'memory_limit', -1
);, but clearly it's not being followed.

I'm having a mysterious problem at my web

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?

It's possible to have multiple PHP configuration files, one for Apache and
one for the CLI; if you're adjusting a php.ini file, make sure you're
adjusting the CLI one. Since you're running a jailed/crippled shell,
ini_set() is probably disabled (you can check with phpinfo()--assuming it's
not disabled too ;)), so unless you have access to the php.ini file that's
actually used, you're going to have to complain to your host.
