memory_limit in MAMP is not sufficient for MODx, how do I increase it?

Hi everyone,

I am very new to MODx, I’m using the free version of MAMP, and while checking the general requirements for installing MODx.

I noticed the default setting for memory_limit 8M is not enough and should be at least 32M.

How do I increase the memory_limit in MAMP and should it be increased further than 32M?

I would really appreciate any advice on this.

Thanks.

Which version of MODx are you installing? 0.9.6.3, or Revolution (2.0 beta)? I’ve been installing 0.9.6.3 and 1.0 beta for quite a while now with a default MAMP installation.

That said, if you need to change the memory limit in MAMP, it’s in Applications/MAMP/conf/php5 (or php4 if you’re using that). Edit the php.ini to set the memory to whatever; line 232 in my MAMP installation.

Thanks Susan,

I was thinking of installing the 0.9.6.3 version, so you’ve had no reason to change the memory_limit, I just noticed that there was quite a difference between the general requirements memory_limit and what was enabled through the php MAMP, and so wondered if that would be a problem.

But if you’ve had no problems, then if it aint broke don’t fix it.

Thanks again, you always answer really quickly.
