Kymmy,

Memory limit is currently 16M
Max execution time is 120

Cheers,

Well try doubling the memory limit as your error "Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted " means that it exhausted the 16Mb and wanted more.. You'll also find that with todays sized pictures that GD/Imagemagik will want a lot more if you do anything graphic wise (gallery/coppermine..etc..).. In this day and age 16Mb is way to small and seems to be from a time when max installed memory was a lot lower

Hi,

I tried tripling it to 64M that and the error is:
Don't know how big I can make it without crashing Apache, but I will give it a try.

Ronald

I don't think that Apache will mind.. what I would do though is when you do find the correct setting you revert it back down to 64Mb afterwards which should be fine for general usage. Let us know though how much it eventually takes.

I wonder though if the script itself has a problem releasing memory??

OK,

I enlarged memory_limit to 128M and max_execution_time to 120.
The script is now functioning, but as there are a large number of posts, the Populating Smilies part is taking quite some time (> 30 minutes in my case).But the script is still running, so I have good hopes.

I will let you know once the script is finished.

Ronald

I enlarged memory_limit to 128M and max_execution_time to 120.

Ok, that did the trick. The script ran for about 45 minutes and te database is complete.
One small detail though, I cannot get access with my administrator details now.

I'll have to reset the password in the DB, but all looks good sofar!

Ronald

Yep, the script doesn;t copy across any of the passwords (you can;t do it via a simple script either as the hash is different.. See my previous posts in this thread for a way of doing it
