Hello Guys,

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 79 bytes) in /var/www/html/cacti/utilities.php on line 105

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 138 bytes) in Unknown on line 0

Hi

check for this setting in php.ini :

Code: Select all

memory_limit = 8M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

Increase it, and restart Apache.

What value did you put in php.ini ?

Hello,

I increased the memory to 64M.
I really appreciate your prompt reply.
God bless you.

67108864 bytes = 64 Mb

Try to increase it to 128 Mb (that's what I use).

Hello,

After I increased the memory to 128Mb I got the error below.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 81 bytes) in /var/www/html/cacti/utilities.php on line 105

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 138 bytes) in Unknown on line 0

Pls help me out.
I will try to increase it again.

Thanks

You have to restart Apache (or whatever you're using for your webserver) for the setting to take place. Try setting it back to 64mb, restart Apache and see if you get the error

I'd say he's restarting, as the error is reporting the new, larger allowed memory size.

Here's a silly question -- how big is your log file? Sounds like it may have ballooned to an unmanageable size (by cacti's reader functions). You may need to download it and open it locally.

You might also want to check and see if you have your logging level set unnecessarily high, as this can grow the log quite quickly.

Hello Guys,

All effort is appreciated.
Mind you there is no question that is silly or foolish as you might put it.
The size of the log file is over 500MB.
Can I delete the log file?
What will be the effect?
And re-create the log file
Elnino, I returned the memory back to 64Mb and restart apache it gave me same error.

oh wow, thats big. You can rename the current one and then `touch cacti.log` to create another one. Make sure the ownership and permissions are correct.

This way you'll have the old log just in case you want it. You can also just delete it or clear it using the web interface.
