Webmail error - Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried t

[cPanelDon]

The same situation we are experiencing after downgrade from Release to Stable. There is a php.in in horde/ folder with memory_limit 256M, but does not take any effect -
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 92274688) (tried to allocate 28331723 bytes) in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/lib/php/Net/SMTP.php on line 836 -

Any to suggest a possible solution [?].

Thanks,

Please refer to this earlier post: cPanel Forums - View Single Post

Both the SMTP and MIME PEAR modules used by Horde have flaws that cause them to consume insane amounts of memory. The only reliable workaround found is to modify the SMTP and MIME modules, setting the memory limits directly within them.

It was showing 8M, I increased that to 32M and increase the timeout setting to 60sec from 30sec.

All is working fine now!!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Tom

How to do that!

what memory limit do you see in:
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini

Try increasing that and then restart cpanel.

If referring to the memory limits defined in a PHP configuration file, the files named "php.ini" may be modified using any command-line text editor (e.g., vi, vim, nano, pico); here are two commands you may use to locate the current value:

# grep -i "^memory_limit" /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini
# grep -i "^memory_limit" /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/horde/php.ini

Here is an example of the command-line output from the above examples and in this case there is a PHP memory limit of 128MB defined as "128M"; the 8MB reference I am seeing only in a descriptive comment on the same line:

# grep -i "^memory_limit" /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini
memory_limit = 128M			; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)
# grep -i "^memory_limit" /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/horde/php.ini
memory_limit = 128M			; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

The result is the same,

I configured 256M in 3 php.ini-s [/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini + roundcube/php.ini horde/php.ini], - anyway the main php.ini after cpanel restart - resets to 128M, even added
ini_set('memory_limit','256M'); in SMTP.php + mime.php .

The same error occurs [horde]:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 92274688) (tried to allocate 28331707 bytes) in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/lib/php/Net/SMTP.php on line 836

cPanel 11.25.0-S44718 - WHM 11.25.0 - X 3.9
CENTOS 5.4 x86_64 standard on serverXXX

So wherefrom is this 88MB coming - 92274688 bits /same length as my above test?

Roundcube - remains in "Sendind message" status, and has almost the same /Out of memory/ according to the error_log:

The only working Webmail is SquirrelMail.
Any other hints to rewrite the memory_limit [?] or to make those other 2 webmails working with ~10MB attached files?
