Hi

I have some files that are about 700mb. When some one downloads them they get this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 683595009 bytes) in /home/almawad1/public_html/libraries/joomla/filesystem/file.php on line 250.

I checked file.php, line 250 but there is no memory size available. Where can I go to change the size of memory?

Thank you

    this should be changed on php.ini file

    however....: 700M is ENORMOUS file. I mean... I dont know if you'll be able to handle such big files... you'd have to set at least 1G memory.. or probably MORE...

    the best option in this case is try to change some pieces of code so the downloads dont go through file.php file, but are hotlinks instead. this is of course not secure, but this will save a lot of resources...

    Hi

    Thanks for the reply. Where exactly is the location of php.ini? I checked every folder in the web folder but I can't seem to find it.

    your hosting provider should give you access to this file...

    maybe through a CPanel or similar
