*Pear upgrade*, how to resolve "Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted"?

I am working on upgrading my pear installation and am running into memoryissues. I went as far as setting memory limit, still no luck. memory_limit=4G

$ pear upgrade

Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 130968 bytes) in /usr/local/pear/share/pear/PEAR/Registry.php on line 417

Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

Solution

  • There are normally 2 php.ini files. One used by your web server PHP and another for the PHP CLI

    Run

    > php --ini

    To see where the php.ini file is for your PHP CLI environment and then increase the memory_limit in the correct file

    PS 4Gig is way over the top. It looks like you have a setting of 128meg so try increasing to 256M for starters
