Sylius: Out of memory on 256MB Shared hosting

[coderbatbayar]

Hello everyone,

I'm developing my ecommerce website using Sylius. Everything is fine on my computer. But Sylius v0.17 project doesnt work on shared hosting which has 256MB. Version 0.16 works. I want to install on shared hosting because this is cheapest plan. Does Sylius 0.17 require dedicated or vps hosting?

@tbatbayar,

0.17 makes the container much larger and compiling this is probably pushing you over the memory limit.

There is a fix coming soon to Symfony which will reduce memory consumption when generating the container, for now you can add the following to your AppKernel.php file:

    /**
     * The following 2 methods workaround the enormous memory usage of token_get_all() which is used in
     * stripComments() below.
     *
     * Instead of calling token_get_all() we use php_strip_whitespace() which is actually more aggressive stripping
     * and results in a smaller cached container.
     *
     * However this can only be run against a file (not a string).
     * So we dump the container as normal without any stripping, then afterwards strip and re-save the container
     *
     * This resulted in a decrease in total memory consumption of the process that builds the container
     * from 350mb to <50mb in PHP7, which will allow it to be built on Platform.sh
     *
     * PW, 03/2016
     *
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function dumpContainer(ConfigCache $cache, ContainerBuilder $container, $class, $baseClass)
    {
        parent::dumpContainer($cache, $container, $class, $baseClass);

        if (!$this->debug) {
            $cache->write(php_strip_whitespace($cache->getPath()), $container->getResources());
        }
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public static function stripComments($source)
    {
        return $source;
    }

Then make sure you run cache:clear before you access a web page.

If this still runs out of memory, try the following instead:

php app/console cache:warmup --no-optional-warmers

Thank you Peter Ward,

It works fine. I'm really appreciate.

[peteward]

no problem, glad I could help!

This is not working in my current version of Sylius 1.0 beta. Is there any other solution for this version?

[okwinza]

@kubrtj request additional memory. 256mb for production is kinda funny.
Note that on php7 sylius uses only about 10-12mb in production mode, meaning that only container rebuilding requires such a vast amount of RAM. This is more symfony-related problem rather than sylius.

[kubrtj]

I try install Sylius in producton enviroment on shared webhosting with PHP option memory_limit 128MB, but it ending with Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted

Any idea how to solve it?

`php bin/console sylius:install --env=prod --no-debug

Success! Your system can run Sylius properly.

Step 2 of 4. Setting up the database.
Creating Sylius database for environment prod.

@kubrtj you need minimum 512MB for Sylius to install and run properly.

I have gotten Symfony to run on a shared server once by compiling the container / setting up database locally then pushing the prod cache up to it by SFTP. You can dump your local database and just load the SQL as well. It's not a great solution but worth a try.

Sylius should be run on VPS or Dedicated Server. You can try Platform.sh (check our demo for config). Shared Hosting will not provide optimal user experience.
