PHP memory limit results in blank pages

November 5th, 2007

From a Drupal install, got a blank page when logging in….

[Mon Nov 05 13:20:36 2007] [error] [client 71.139.36.123] PHP Fatal error:
Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 92160 bytes) in
/home/someuser/public_html/modules/event/event_timezones.inc on line 331, referer: http://example.com/

Up the memory in php.ini a few MB, restart httpd and all was working..

DNS Troubleshooting

November 1st, 2007

Yeah, its 5am – got clients that rely on me to get things done…

DNS: Best free tool to use: http://www.dns.lu/en/EN-LUTestNoms.php

If seeing “not advertising as nameserver”, that means in the zone file that server is not listed:

mochabomb.com.  IN      NS ns1.mochabomb.com.
mochabomb.com.  IN      NS ns2.mochabomb.com.
mochabomb.com.  IN      NS ns4.mochabomb.com.

.. for the server it resides on – and that record can be a slave record, just need to add all slaves in the master DNS server so that the slave server advertizes itself as an authority….

In /etc/named.conf is where a zone is set as master or slave. A slave can be authoritative if its name is listed/resolved by the master record.
