Extend memory on install/shared host

Peter Szmulik	Monday 19 July 2004 5:37:21 am Hi I'm trying to install eZ Publish on a shared host. They use a default PHP memory size of 8MB which - as the eZ install script points out - is too small. To extend this I have the following options (Unix): 1. talk my host into extending the memory limit globally; won't happen 2. place a modified php.ini file in EACH directory of eZ publish that contains php scripts 3. place a symbolic link to a modified php.ini file in EACH directory of eZ publish that contains php scripts 4. edit all eZ php scripts with the following line: ini_set ( memory_limit, "24M" ); Wouldn't it be a good idea to extend the memory check thing in the install script to: * identify any memory limitation as today * ask the user how much memory to allocate * set memory size globally using item 4. above? Please? Best Regards Peter

Try this:

#!/bin/bash
# prepend header to 'php' files
echo "ini_set ( memory_limit, "24M" );" > tmp

for FILE in `find -name "*php"`; do
( cat tmp $FILE ) | cat > $FILE.new
mv $FILE.new $FILE

done

you can set the memory limit per vhost in apache. Ask your host about this. That is the easiest way.
