Forum overload issues (PHP error)?

[shaneturner12]

Hi Trainzers,

I am posting this here as it is likely to affect most of the community at some point.

Something tells me that the forums may be overloaded, as I ended up getting a PHP error whilst viewing one of the recent pages:

[B]Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 295294 bytes) in [B]/var/www/html/forums/trainz/includes/class_core.php(4606) : eval()'d code on line [B]49[/B][/B][/B]

This cropped up on http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?53895-F59PHI&p=1147307#post1147307.

This concerns me, as it indicates that the forums are becoming overloaded (possibly too many users, or too many threads) - either that, or the forums are having problems handling the large screenshots on here.

Has anyone else come across this error or a similar error?

Never experienced that problem; neither here or any other website.

I doubt the (size of) the screenshots can be the reason for the problem as they are not hosted on the same server the forum is running on and none are that large in pixels that they not even get close to my (laptop) screen size. Many screenshots in screenshots topics are larger.

Thankyou Onno for your response - seems you have been lucky.

Has anyone else encountered that error?

It's a bad php.ini file. Someone probably made a change to one php.ini file but the host is probably referencing a different php.ini for this site. That or they are hosting under a client name instead of root and the php.ini is not configured properly for that. In either case, placing this in the PROPER php.ini file will fix it - php_value memory_limit 64M

That would make sense. Hopefully N3V sort it out before it affects others.
