Hi John,

Sorry, but I can't remember if I ever got this working, and if I did, I can't remember how. :(

Sincerely,

Hi John

I'm assuming you are getting the "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of X..." error?

This is because the script is using all the memory allocated to it.

You can either increase the memory limit in php.ini or add an option to the command line

 cd /home/path/to/ez;/usr/local/bin/php <b>-dmemory_limit=64M</b> -C /home/path/to/ez/runcronjobs.php frequent

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Bruce

The website does not throw the following error on regular basis. I been running the frequent in cronjob for a day or so at 15th minute of an hour.

Got the same this morning:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 491520 bytes) in /var/www/xxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/plain_site/cache/template/compiled/plain-e94d3e17c666661c8bf131bc6e5d5c95.php on line 335

Hi John,

From your paste above, the memory_limit value taken into account is 33554432 bytes, ie 32MB. This is too low, definitely. Although you believe the memory_limit value is 256M, it is not for the CLI version of PHP, most obviously. You either need to follow Bruce's advice and run the runcronjobs.php script with the -d option, overriding the memory_limit value:

cd /home/path/to/ez;/usr/local/bin/php -dmemory_limit=256M -C /home/path/to/ez/runcronjobs.php frequent

Would you mind trying this one above and let us know ?

Cheers John,

Hi John,

depending on which OS you are running eZ Publish on, the php configuration may be split into to different files, one for module/cgi runtime, one for CLI runtime. Two solutions are at your disposal now :

• Override the php-cli configuration for any CLI run (after having found the location of the configuration file; you should be able to see it by running, form the command line : php -i | grep -i 'Loaded Configuration File' )
• Override the php-cli configuration on a per script basis, as proposed in Bruce's post. You should not worry about the memory used. You'd rather have a properly running script, maybe eating 2 or 3 additional MBs of RAM, than having a non-functional solution. You can first try to increase the memory_limit to 64MB. And then incrementally adjust this value of you spot new crashes.

Cheers,
