    I'm getting an error Apr 12 16:27:12 [Tue Apr 12 23:27:12.433970 2022] [php7:error] [pid 285] [client 172.18.0.1:57230] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 33554440 bytes) in /app/data/apps/dav/lib/CardDAV/CardDavBackend.php on line 996, and I'm trying to increase the memory limit to 1025M.

    So far I've added

    • 'memory_limit' => '1024M' to /app/data/config/config.php,
    • memory_limit=1024M to /app/data/.user.ini
    • memory_limit=1024M to /app/data/php.ini
    • PHP_MEMORY_LIMIT=1024M to /app/data/config.env

    But none of these seems to have worked. Any ideas where I should be able to make this adjustment? The server itself is already allocated to up to 1.5Gb, and the error seems to be PHP related, but I'm not sure where to set this.

    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?

    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?

    @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.

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

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

    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.

    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

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

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