upload_max_filesize = 50M
post_max_size = 40M
memory_limit = 48M

That got me to the point of hanging at 0% and the script above didn’t complete. After adding the specified lines to a new .htaccess file in the two directories, I’m not getting the this error on the thumbnail page:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 35127296) (tried to allocate 12288 bytes) in /homepages/35/d93152625/htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/nggallery/lib/thumbnail.inc.php on line 183

Any ideas?

When i upload new images the thumbnails are created automatically without any problems but when i try to do a batch resize (even just on a single photo) using the ‘manage gallery’ screen i get the classic error message that everyone else is getting telling me that my 40MB mem limit has been reached.

When resizing a sngle picture surely 40MB is more than enough memory to cope, i dont think that is the problem here. Even if i change the settings to 10×10 and quality 10% the batch resizer gves memory limit errors which is not right.

As i said… automatic generation of thumbnails works fine?

Also test script works fine only using something like 700kb of memory.

It WAS getting pretty ugly for me — couldn’t even generate thumbnails for very small images (220kb)! Added the extra code to my .htaccess file and now, so far so good.

Only my file looks slightly different. Perhaps because I’m running a different WP version (2.2.2):

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

Eric: Thanks for that link too! Here’s how I confirmed I was running PHP5 after the .htaccess edit …

Create a file in the WP root directory called “phptest.php” that just includes the following:

Open this file in your browser to see what version of PHP you’re running.

Thanks,
