we cannot change the way of how apache works nor we want to do that. I think that the error message in apache log is good enough. Anyway this is not a documentation issue. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-09-02 13:23:15] erich dot iseli at iseli dot org Description: ------------ In the following line in php.ini memory_limit = 8M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB) the comment mentions "8MB" but if one really writes "memory_limit = 8MB" then apache would hang when restarting even though it says: /etc/init.d/apache2 start * Starting apache 2.0 web server... [ ok ] I'm writing this bug report because I've just experienced this problem and while fixing it, I found out that many others have had the same issue. Reproduce code: --------------- replace memory_limit = 8M with memory_limit = 8MB Expected result: ---------------- - no misleading comment so that one doesn't even attempt to write "MB" instead of M - don't say "[ok]" but "[fail]" when restarting apache with the mention that "8MB" is not known, assuming "8 bytes" or "did you mean "8M"? (ok, that would be an apache bug, but I think php should provide this failure message to apache, doesn't it?) - write more verbose error message to apache error.log Actual result: -------------- apache hangs when restarting, consuming a lot of CPU and only writing this to error.log Allowed memory size of 8 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9 bytes) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42519&edit=1
