Increase Nextcloud PHP memory limit

[nebulon]

Looks like you are setting it in the correct places. Adjusting /app/data/php.ini or /app/data/config/config.php might be sufficient though. Can you take a look at Nextcloud's Settings -> System on what it displays as the PHP memory limit?

[nebulon]

So I have tried this now and setting the memory_limit in /app/data/php.ini works. But the app needs to be restarted afterwards!

The app restart is important for apache to pick up the changes.

@girish @nebulon I've restarted the app with all those values set and Settings > System still shows Memory Limit: 512 MB

@iamthefij Interesting. So, all I did was to add memory_limit=1024M in /app/data/php.ini.

And then, after a restart:

Maybe you can remove all the other changes? Can you check by removing all other configs other than this one?

[iamthefij]

@girish I had updated the .user.ini because it had previously said memory_limit=512M, so that's why I changed it. Should I remove it or change it back? I've already removed it from everywhere else.

[girish]

@iamthefij Interesting. The Cloudron package does not create it and AFAIK neither does nextcloud itself. But yes, you can delete that file entirely.

[iamthefij]

@girish deleted and restarted. Nextcloud still says 512MB but php -i shows memory_limit => 1024M => 1024M.

[iamthefij]

I know very little about PHP, so I'm running low on things to try. I've tried grepping through /app/code for other places where memory_limit is referenced, and I don't see anything else limiting it.

[nebulon]

maybe you have some memory_limit leftover in some other config file. The only place to have it should be in /app/data/php.ini

[iamthefij]

@nebulon said in Increase Nextcloud PHP memory limit:

/app/data/php.ini

I undid everything I set, but then I grepped through /app/data and found php_value memory_limit 512M in /app/data/htaccess. It's not present in /app/data/.htaccess though. I'm confused as to why both of these exist in the first place.

But anyway, I commented out the lines in /app/data/htaccess, restarted and it looks like it worked!

Thanks for the help.

[iamthefij]

@iamthefij I should say... it worked to increase the limit. My contacts still don't load.

[girish]

@iamthefij Is it still the same memory limit error? I would start out by disabling plugins. Do you use any ?
