Server can need > 1.5GB Virtual Memory when uploading pictures

[garyrowe]

Hi,
When I upload images via the Publish plugin in LRC to my Backlight 5 site, the virtual server at my ISP is giving errors that there is not enough virtual memory available (my plan allows me 1.5GB), and then seems to block my home IP address for a while (I can stlil view site via my mobile phone).

I am using the publisher v7.0 (as reported in LRC’s Plugin manager), and this behaviour seems ot have started about a month or so ago when I created new galleries of old scanned photos from my schooldays.

Please can someone give me pointers as to what I could look for regarding any of the images (e.g. size, type etc.), that might cause such problems.
Or, how could I rebuild my site from scratch again? (all pages are being built via LRC) so that I am starting with a vanilla Backlight 5 installation?

Many thanks,
Gary

You could try changing memory or upload limits in your php.ini file

File size limitations?

There may be a low limit on the size of files you can upload. Check your php.ini file. Look for upload_max_filesize Your php.ini file may be in the root of your site. You can download it and open and edit it with a plain text editor or a code editor. Some C-panels will allow you to change some parameters of php.ini as well. Or you can call your host’s technical support and ask them about upload_max_filesize
