Hi! I need som help regarding memory_limit. i now get this

Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2363088 bytes) at /usr/local/www/nextcloud/lib/private/Files/Storage/Local.php#272

and my CRON has stoped woking and i belive its because of this as well.

I have set “memory_limit = 1G” and also tried with 1024M and looked thru all config files i can find and googled and tried adding to .htaccess as found regarding owncloud. but no luck.

i am using NC20 but started with NC 17 and have always had this problem but now its starting to make problems by using NC.

I have now PHP 7.4 but started with 7.3

My NC is in a Jail under Truenas

please help

Hi,
did you check the variable in the actually loaded php.ini?

Best way to find this is: create a php file and add the following code:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

and open it in browser, it will show the file which is actually being read!

i tried that and it loads the php.ini and says memory_limit 1G and i set the 128 opache memory to 1024 as well but no difference. it just like if Nextcloud itself is looking at another parameter.

4

it looks like it limited to the user www, but there is no change when i edit www.conf

5

On my setup there is another ini file in “/etc/php/7.3/apache2/conf.d/” called “98-dietpi-nextcloud.ini” overriding the existing mem-limit.

I tried to create an extra conf in php-fpm.d folder but no difference on that either.

Maby this helps

It’s not the jail itself that is limited. It’s the user www that doesn’t respond to settings in php.ini php-fpm.conf or www.conf.

If I set the memory limit in cli command it works but only that run.

Update: i looks like this is a CLI issue. when setting up a php info page that is owned by www it now shows 1G but on cli its still 128M. I dont have any x/x/php-cli.conf

If you look for the ini file for the CLI, you can easily get this from phpinfo() or you even shorter:

echo "<?php echo php_ini_loaded_file(); ?>" | php
