Question

By use of Windows, Xampp and php 32-bit version and cloned a laravel Project and it is giving the following error when I run Composer update.

"Out of memory (allocated 1585446912) (tried to allocate 4096 bytes) in phar://C:/ProgramData/ComposerSetup/bin/composer.phar/src/Composer/DependencyResolver/Solver.php on line 220 "

What I have done is

1. To increase memory size of php.ini to -1
2. Tried to download php 64 bit and run the following command

"C:\Users\Niroj Dev\Documents\php-7.4.4\php.exe" -d memory_limit=-1 "C:/ProgramData/ComposerSetup/bin/composer.phar" update

The above two way is unsuccessfull

Can someone help me out.? please!

Hey @kartik,

This Error  happens in almost all framework like Magento, Laraval etc. You just need to increase the memory allocation limit in php by php.ini file.

You can do the above task.

Update your php.ini file then restart Apache or your server
example:
memory_limit=128M
to
memory_limit=1128M

Hope this works!

thank you!!

Depending on your development environment, your number can vary.

I will be using MAMP in this example, but you can also use these steps to help with your Drupal development using Composer.

When you see the following error message, it is very likely that you have a memory limit issue and you need to increase it in the PHP config file.

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of XXXXXX bytes exhausted <...>

To find out what the current memory limit is, run the following command:

php -r "echo ini_get('memory_limit').PHP_EOL;"

After running the command, this is my current memory limit.

128M

Since the memory limit is 128M, it is a good idea to increase it.

To increase the memory limit, we need to locate the PHP config file. We can simply run the following command:

php --ini

Here is an example of what you should expect after running the command.

Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.8/conf
Loaded Configuration File:         /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.8/conf/php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: (none)
Additional .ini files parsed:      (none)

The path to the PHP config file is next to `Loaded Configuration File`.

In your favorite text editor open the php.ini file. Search for memory_limit and increase the value. For instance:

memory_limit = 512M;

After saving the file, we can see our memory has increased.

php -r "echo ini_get('memory_limit').PHP_EOL;"

512M

Hope it helps!!

Thank You!!
