Hi,

We're getting the following error message when viewing the page with the EasyDiscuss module.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 130968 bytes) in /home/klebel/public_html/opsphere.com/components/com_easydiscuss/helpers/category.php on line 59

The original memory_limit was set to 64 mb, and we up'd it to 256 mb and still getting the same message. We checked with GoDaddy and they think it might be a memory leak.

We also updated to EasyDiscuss 3.2.9463 and EasySocial 1.2.19.

Please let me know what other info you need.

Thanks!
Hello Kerry,

I am sorry for the late reply.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 130968 bytes) in /home/klebel/public_html/opsphere.com/components/com_easydiscuss/helpers/category.php on line 59

This fatal error was shown because the site is trying to use memory of 268435456 + 130968 = 268566424 bytes =256.1249 mb while allowed memory is 256 mb. Can you try increase it a bit more to memory_limit = 257 mb and see if this issue is still persist.

Please be advise.
Thanks.

Strange, the error message no longer appears. We have the memory still set 256MB.

But, now it looks like the Categories Layout doesn't load at all. It gives us a 500 Internal Server Error.

I created another Menu with the 'Frontlpage Layout' and that page loads successfully.

Not sure if this would be a new post. I can start a new one if you needed.

Thanks.

Hello Kerry,

If you are still experiencing errors, please do provide us with the back end and FTP access to the site. Without any of these, we are practically looking at your issues with our eyes closed and we can't really give you an exact answer.

Hello Kerry Lebel,

Sorry for late reply to this,
That's strange, because it still hitting the memory limit when access the single category page.
can you request with your webhosting provider to help you increase this 2 php information to be higher again and see how it goes?
memory_limit - 512MB
Max_execution_time - 300

Unfortunately I dont think that is a good idea. Memory utilization just keeps growing and setting it to 512 Meg is the max utilization for this shared box. If we top it out there, I am bound to have other issues with other services. No way to track down the memory leak without that?

Hello Kerry,

I am sorry for the late reply.
I have found the issue with your site why hitting memory exhaustion. It is because of the there is category that set parent to himself. Here is my screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/e62AlAIlWfZ . Clearly it didn't have subcategory but it listed have 2 subcategories. I have helped you disable this category and create new subcategory. After disable this category, the memory exhaustion is gone. Here my screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/03kKe7uRO .
So, this category need to be deleted. I cannot delete this using MijoSQL component. Can you give us your site phpMyAdmin so that we check the database and help you delete this category and thus fixing your issue.

Please be advise.
Thanks.
