Fatal error: Allowed memory size

[globalinsites]

I have PP 5.3.1 and just tested uploading from my uploads/1 directory for the first time. I uploaded 5 images to my uploads/1 directory, then went to Upload Photos in the admin. I selected 'Skip upload and process the files already in your upload directory' and 'Click here to bypass approval process and upload all files in
directory selected' and I got this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 3888 bytes) in /public_html/gallery/image-inc.php on line
99

The same thing happens on other installations of PP (also 5.3.1) on the same server.

I read here in the forums about adding ini_set("memory_limit", "40M"); but I'm not sure to which file(s) and where exactly I should add it. I also read Michael advising someone to bump up the memory limit for PHP.INI so I'm not quite sure what to do.

Image integration is set to GD2.

I noticed that there is a index.html file in uploads/1 directory. I never saw that in older versions. Should the index.html be there?

My upload directories are not clogged with images, they only contain the 5 images I was trying to upload. The images are about 200 kb each. On my other server I never had this problem with PP although the PP version on that server is a bit older. I can easily upload 120 photos of 200 kb each the way I described above.

Please advice.

Thanks.

yes index.htm should be there

Yes plenty of threads on ini_set for those users who use GD2 which uses PHP memory here you go

Okay, then I suppose that it's normal that each time I upload I see an error on that index.html file? it makes sense I guess because the index.html is in the uploads directory but it cannot be uploaded because it's not a supported file type.

I changed PP to use ImageMagick instead of GD2 which seems to work okay.

I think that I'll also need to change the memory_limit in php.ini to at least 16M though 'cause that's what vBulletin recommends/requires.
