Getting a lot of error 500's (Cannot allocate memory)

Cannot allocate memory: *** couldn't create child process: /opt/suphp/sbin/suphp for /home/username/public_html/index.php

My host has increased the virtual memory to 6gig ! still I am facing the issue.
I had this within hours of setting up the Opencart site even when it was empty and just the simplica theme added.
I am goin g to make a full backup and remove all modifications and add them one by one over a few hours and see if I get the same error which I feel I will do.

I just wondered if there was a way to log the actual problem that causes the error ?

What type of hosting service are you using? Shared, VPS or Dedicated? 6GB is a lot of memory so either your site has a major coding issue or your hosting company isn't truly increasing the memory for you. If you require as much as 6GB, you'll definitely need a VPS at a minimum but something sounds very suspicious when you say it happens even with an empty store.

So far it has not happened again after I removed all mods and ext that were not needed. No idea if it was one of them causing the issue but as i do not and may never use I might not ever know why it caused a problem in the first place.
I am on shared, and the virtual memory was increased and is still set at 6gig. But could not understand why 4gig was needed for just the home page of the admin area. There was maps and other stats that I disabled that may have caused it. even though there are no visitors as such just yet and only 50 items.

I'll be making backups and monitoring the admin and main sites home page on each change for a bit just to see if anything comes back.

Well it started again...

Virtual Memory Usage
1.74 GB / 2 GB ( 87% )
This was previously set to 4gig but they reduced it to 2gig again.

I have disabled everything that is not needed, basically everything but the basics. Its a new install with 50 items added and a few categories.

I am at a loss as to why this would happen at all with a simple install. No themes other than default used.

the follow are also used...

vqmm_menu_shortcut.xml VQMod Manager Menu Shortcut 3.1.4 2.3.0 Jason Clark (mithereal@gmail.com) Enabled

None of the extensions listed should cause an issue. Can you download a copy of your database through phpMyAdmin and re install all of the Opencart files? Something is corrupted or your hosting company is providing you with a less than advertised hosting plan.

ok, to see if it was me or not I completely deleted the account and re-added it and installed a fresh copy from the original zip of opencart, I left the default cart as is and then added vqmod-2.6.1-opencart and vqmod_manager-master. POW... the problems started...

i am using OC Version 2.3.0.2

Have you got cpanel on your hosting where you can check on your disk usage

Or maybe time to look for a better hosting plan

I have a reseller account and plenty of space of bandwidth.
errors show still
virtual memory uses over 2gig and CPU Usage 44 / 100 ( 44% )

I just increased this to 1000mb but still get the error every now and then.

You could always run a phpinfo to find out exactly how much memory is set

Re: Getting a lot of error 500's (Cannot allocate memory)

Post by jasonc310771 » Mon Mar 06, 2017 5:14 am

CPU Usage 0 / 100 ( 0% )
I/O Usage 0 / 1024 KB/s ( 0% )
IOPS 0 / 1024 ( 0% )
Virtual Memory Usage 0 bytes / 2 GB ( 0% )
Entry Processes 0 / 20 ( 0% )
Physical Memory Usage 0 bytes / 2 GB ( 0% )
Number of Processes 0 / 100 ( 0% )

This happens every few minutes, I get the error and then it stops for a bit and then I get it again. Its not every page load.

I set the memory_limit to 2048m and checked in phpinfo to make sure it was set and on the first and second load it shows errors again, then it loaded ok for a few times then the errors again.
