Installation - Memory Error:Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1610612736 bytes exhausted

[nobicycle]

Hello and thank you for laravel-backup that I am installing for the first time.

Initially php memory_limit = 128M

$ php -v
PHP 7.4.6 (cli) (built: May 12 2020 15:48:23) ( NTS )

$ composer -v require spatie/laravel-backup

I then increased memory to 256M 

$ php -r "echo ini_get('memory_limit').PHP_EOL;"
256M

Did you figure it out? Having the same issue.

[daud123333]

same problem

[kumarkishan070997]

i am also having the same issue

The solution is to increase the amount of memory, Composer can be quite intensive. I have found that you need to allocate 1GB of ram to be sure that you do not get an out of memory error. If you are using a VPS that does not have that much then try increasing or adding SWAP.

Hi,

From my message above:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1610612736 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4096 bytes)

I did the test again

php72 -r "echo ini_get('memory_limit').PHP_EOL;"
1024M

And again ...

$ sudo -u http /bin/bash -c "cd ~/delivery; composer require spatie/laravel-backup"

0.134217736 bytes is 0.13 GB

whereas

1610612736 bytes is 1.6 GB

Allowed php memory is much greater.
Does anything else need changing in php.ini apart from memory_limit?

[wisegear]

Having 1.6GB allocated and it being available for use are not the same. How much memory does your system/server actually have? It is telling you the memory is being exhausted, so you need to look at what memory is in use when you run it, what is left and whether that is enough. Clearly it isn't but you need to look more closely at the resource usage.

With 2.2GB free I still get the problem.

Hello, try:
COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 composer -v require spatie/laravel-backup

I have used it during installation of another package with success

[nobicycle]

Thank you. That works!

I got an error

Sin embargo ya pude solucionarlo!

Pueden hacerlo manualmente yendo a xampp -> php -> php.ini -> buscar: memory_limit -> cambiar el valor a -1 (en mi caso era 512M) y luego cierran y abren el xampp. Habiendo hecho eso ya pueden instalar el paquete que querían instalar (en mi caso era nesbot/carbon)

[Abdullahmasood553]

Open your xampp.
Go to actions and press config.
Open php.ini file
Change
memory_limit=512M
to
memory_limit= -1

thanks very match
