I got this when trying to post a thread in the RW

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/otcentral/public_html/forum/includes/functions_search.php on line 197

504 Gateway Timeout is when the web server gives up on waiting for PHP to do something. PHP is what handles most everything on the server aside from images and raw .html pages. So when that craps out, everything goes down the drain.

I've still been trying to figure out what causes those random hangs. Lately they've just been solving themselves when I don't get to it in time, which is good, but still leaves it down for too long. (30 seconds is too long for some people that use it. :lloyd: )

I raised the memory limit to 64 megs, so the posting of threads shouldn't cause too much of a problem anymore. *knocks on wood more*

Dave: Can you nudge me on MSN? A second pair of eyes will probably help a lot.

just my luck I not a familiar with it.
It did sound like a mem thing to me, hence the inquire.
I was guessing maybe the image gen was pulling too much mem.

You may have it with that adjustment.

If it continues, I'll see if I can brainstorm some more on it.

I haven't had time to research the nginx, but it doesn't really sound
like it's related, if the html is holding.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya at this point.:nerd:

I didn't even know about nginx, it sounds interesting.

I have several servers running with Debian and Apache 2 and the most common problems I've ever stumped upon are:
- blackouts, but there's little I can do about those apart from using an UPS.
- buggy (vulnerable) mambo, moodle or phpbb

What was the output to error.log when it refused to work?

Never used nginx here either (I'm on the same boat as Luis), but am available for help/brainstorming. :)

PM'd.
