Hi, I;m getting an error when trying to perform a forum dump since yesterday when my host server migrated from an older PHP and MySQL (iirc around v5.4 for both) to PHP v5.6.36 & MySQL v5.6.38.

I didn't get the error when it was on older versions of php/mysql. Error occuring on both 3.0.8RC which I was running yesterday (on the newer php/mysql) and now today when I've updated to 3.0.9 but dump always worked with 3.0.8RC (and earlier) on the older php and mysql.

Now I'm on newer servers, my PHP can now be updated to PHP 7.0 or 7.1 with a few clicks by the tech support. Will PHP 7.7,1 possibly resolve the issue?

Looks like a PHP and not a FUDforum issue. I assume your older PHP version had a higher memory limit. Increase the memory_limit or ask your webmaster to increase it.

PS: PHP 7.x works great with FUDForum 3.0.9.

Thanks but they have raised the memory limit to 256M then 512M and still get the error.

the PHP is currently updated to v7.1 and the forum itself seems to be working fine but on going into administration, I get this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'function' (T_FUNCTION) in /home/hondafor/FUDforum/include/theme/default/db.inc on line 46

So I've asked them to put PHP back to 5.6.36 unless you have any ideas?

I've managed to resolve the T_FUNCTION error by setting PHP to 7.1 then re-running upgrade.php to 3.0.9 again (after clearing upgrade_status) and now the forum is fully functional except the backup still giving me error

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 65273816 bytes) in /home/hondafor/FUDforum/include/theme/default/db.inc on line 110

That said I can backup the lot with the hosts own backup system but it'd be nice to get this working as its the fudforum own backup I've always used

I've tried playing around with php.ini files

memory_limit = 128M (have tried it at 1024M)
post_max_size = 128M (tried 1024MB not sure what forum default should be)
upload_max_filesize - 128M (tried 1024M but set back to 128M now)

this is my basic PHP.ini settings atm

Please try the following:

Open ../adm/admdump.php in a text editor and replace
@ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');
with
@ini_set('memory_limit', '-1');

PS: 65273816 bytes == 64M. This may be a limit imposed by your web server.

Hi,

I've tried

@ini_set('memory_limit', '-1');

but still get the same error so also tried

@ini_set('memory_limit', '128M'); & @ini_set('memory_limit', '64M'); to no avail.

looking in Admin -> System Info -> Detailed PHP Info -> Core section the local and master values of this setting are both 128M so was hoping that perhaps setting admdump.php to a value less than the 128M local and master would work.

memory_limit 128M 128M


Do you have any other ideas as I'm sure I or the host has raised the memory_limits above 128M which didn't seem to make any conerable difference?

Same error, but is it still saying 67108864 bytes (i.e. 64M), even it you make it 128M?

Yes, same error with Local & Master showing 128M. Just tried again now and unticked the "Use Gzip Compression:" which I normally leave ticked just in case the extra burden of compression was playing a part.
