Php.ini - Default Settings

Store Builder Questions

Hi,

CS-Cart team: please update/add the php requirements to your documentation especially for 'memory_limit':

http://docs.cs-cart.com/4.7.x/install/system_requirements.html

Fresh installations with default php.ini settings e.g. on cPanel with memory_limit of 64MB won't working.

Thanks

What was the error message that you got? And what is default php.ini?

memory_limit value depends on your store size and number of visitors. We usually recommend to set it to 256-512M, this should be enough for most installations.

We have deleted the error log currently but something like this:


Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxxxxx bytes exhausted (tried to allocate xxx bytes)

>> memory_limit value depends on your store size and number of visitors.

It happens on both - CS-Cart and Multivendor as well. Both are demo installations with provided demo content.

>> We usually recommend to set it to 256-512M, this should be enough for most installations.

Ok, a good notice, but you should mention that within the installation documentation. Therefore I posted the link here.

Thanks

It's already set to 256M if the sever is a 64bit server running 64bit PHP.

Take a look at config.local.php

I'm guessing their assumption is that if you're running on an old 32bit server that you probably have a smaller store and your export/imports (biggest user of memory) will work within 64MB. Not usually an issue on the customer side other than some image manipulations.
