Subject: php5: memory_limit = 128M, MaxClients = 150

Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 21:25:25 +0200

Package: php5
Version: 5.3.0-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini:
memory_limit = 128M

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
MaxClients = 150

128 m * 150 = 19 g

That's gonna be fun! ;)

Greetings,

Olaf

Hi,

Notice that this is the maximum value, it's not allocated by default:

Quoting http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.memory-limit :

This sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes that a script is allowed to

As indicated in the bug log, the 128m is only an upper limit; and it's a
default configurtion, that has hardly let to any concrete problems in the
past 5 years since this bug was filed. It's the administrator's
responsibility to configure the limits that fit their specific available
resources.

Oh, and even then, 19G is of course for current machines not that much
anymore anyway.
