In this tutorial, I will show you how to change the memory limit in php. The default memory is set for 8M, but sometimes webmaster and admins need to change this to make their website faster.

WARNING!!
- Always Make a backup file of php.ini before you start to do anythingn like this. If you dont know what you are doing, these changes could make your website go down. Please Read Disclaimer

1. If you dont know what your php settings are. See the post on this link;
http://www.webune.com/forums/how-can-do-i-you-create-make-a-phpinfo-php-file-t22.html

2. If your memory is set to 8M, continue with next step

3. Open your php.ini file. If your server is a Webune Dedicated Server with Redhat, Centos or Fedora, you can run the following command to edit the php.ini file:

     Code:
nano /etc/php.ini

If you don't know where your php.ini file is, go back to step 1, the phpinfo.php file will show you where the pnp.ini file is at.

4.
Find

     Code:
memory_limit = 8M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

Replace With

     Code:
memory_limit = 16M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)
Basically I changed 8 to 16

5. Save file by hitting Control+x -then you will be asked if you want to save changes, type the letter y for yes

6. Then hit Return at the next prompt.

7. Restart Apache Server with the following command

     Code:
/etc/init.d/httpd restart


8. Do step 1 again, and this time your phpinfo.php file should show 16M instead of 8M

9. DONE
