Where is my php.ini / Fatal error: Allowed memory size

Post by diemutter »

Hej everyone,...

I am having a problem with my allowed memory size through the download script!
I have read about the problem a lot of times here now
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 97280256 bytes) in...
Most of the ppl. get control over it by upsetting the memory size from 8MB to xxxx MB in the php.ini

But how come I cant find the php.ini ?!!
Where is it???

Thx for the help!

Hi!

You can only change the php.in file if you're the admin of your server.

The downloadscript is not able to handle large files, I'm sorry! :(

Hi!

That depends if you are the server admin. If you are, change the php.ini file.

If you are not, ask your server admin if he'd like to raise that limit for you.

If he doesn't do that, you cannot use the downloadmanager script for files larger than your limit.

Best regards,
