php.ini on hosted GoDaddy Server

I am having problems uploading a larger number of files to PowerGallery. I am getting this error message when trying to upload a 8mg file:

"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 21480 bytes) in /home/content/05/11651305/html/1to1ecart/powergallery/admin_gallery/common/functions.php on line 257"

I increased the php.ini from 100mg to 256mg. This did not make a difference. I am attaching the php5.ini files.

I have an unlimited web hosting account with GoDaddy. Do I need to put the php.ini in each folder where the domain files reside or just in the main folder of my account? Currently these files reside in the root of the main domain's folder, which is 1 level up from the folder which holds the domain's folders the powergallery is inside.

It isn't the upload size that is the problem, it is the memory limit while trying to resize the image to fit in the gallery and display on the web.

To fix that, try updating the memory_limit variable in the php.ini file:
memory_limit = 256M ;

Can you confirm which folder the php5.ini file should be in please? I have an unlimited web hosting account with GoDaddy. Do I need to put the php.ini in each folder where the domain files reside or just in the main folder of my account? Currently these files reside in the root of the main domain's folder, which is 1 level up from the folder which holds the domain's folders the powergallery is inside.

It depends on how the server is configured. That might be a better question to ask your hosting provider. I'm not familiar with the type of hosting you are using and don't regularly use GoDaddy. Each hosting provider may have different configurations.

I uploaded the php files and still got this message. If the memory is set to 256mg, and the file uploading is 8817 KB, it should be working fine. Any suggestions? I am attaching the php5.ini and php.ini files to confirm there are no errors in them.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 21480 bytes) in /home/content/05/11651305/html/1to1ecart/powergallery/admin_gallery/common/functions.php on line 257

That must be the wrong location for the php.ini file.

If you add this code to the page:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

You should be able to see the settings from the php.ini file and confirm if the memory_limit was updated or not.

Holy smokes that returned a lot of data. What should I be looking for? I am attaching a copy the response.

I did a search on the word "max". There the results I found showing the "local value" and the "master value" I am also attaching the file that I am uploading and that keeps giving me the error message.

PHP Variables
_SERVER["userlimit_limit"] 50
_SERVER["HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL"] max-age=0

The key value here causing issues is the value for: memory_limit

not anything with max in the name

Search for memory_limit on the page. It looks like you updated the master value, but the local value is still 64M.

You need to get the local value higher. It looks like it is still at 64M.
