This article covers the Wordpress Fatal Memory Error and how to solve it.
-----------------
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 491520 bytes) in /home/username/public_html/wp-includes/class-simplepie.php on line 9907
-----------------
Step 1: See suphp is the default handler on the server
Run : /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf --current
Sample output:
Available handlers: suphp dso cgi none
DEFAULT PHP: 5
PHP4 SAPI: none
PHP5 SAPI: suphp <----suphp is the default handler *If server is running "dso" please refer to DSO section.
SUEXEC: enabled
Step 2: Create entry in the .htaccess
cd /home/username/public_html/
nano /home/username/public_html/.htaccess
Add the following to this file:
<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/USERNAME/public_html/
</IfModule>
*MAKE SURE TO REPLACE THE USERNAME WITH THE ACCOUNT USERNAME
Step 3: Copy php.ini into public_html folder unless one already exists
If php.ini does NOT exist
=====================
cp /usr/lib/php.ini /home/username/public_html/
nano php.ini
Edit:
memory_limit = 64M
=====================
If php.ini DOES exist
=======================
nano php.ini
Edit:
memory_limit = 64M
=======================
Wordpress has additional memory restrictions that will need to be edited.
nano wp-includes/default-constants.php
// set memory limits
if ( !defined('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT') ) {
if( is_multisite() ) {
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M'); <------Change value to reflect php.ini
} else {
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M'); <------Change value to reflect php.ini
}
