How to increase memory limit

Hello,

What I would personally do is the following:

• Start by creating a new file called info.php with the following content:

<?php
phpinfo();

• Save the file and then visit the file via your browser, eg your_website.com/info.php

• This will show you your PHP configuration as follows:

• On that page, look for the Loaded Configuration File which will show you the exact location of your php.ini file. In my case it is:

/etc/php/8.0/fpm/php.ini

But keep in mind that if you are using a different PHP version with a different handler the location would be different.

• Then open that file with your favorite text editor:

sudo nano /etc/php/8.0/fpm/php.ini

• And look for the memory_limit line and update the value accordingly:

memory_limit = 128M

• Finally, if you are using PHP FPM you would need to restart it:

sudo systemctl restart php8.0-fpm.service

If you want to change this for your PHP CLI too, you could run php -i | grep php.ini and this will show you the location of the php.ini file for your CLI version.

Hope that this helps!

Best,

Bobby
