httpd crash after successful start

I have a CentOS 5.2 (fully up to date) box running dekiwiki.

So naturally its a typical LAMP setup.

Just recently I needed to upload a file larger then the preset 2m limit so i had to edit /etc/php.ini

Code:

.
.
.
memory_limit = 32     ;
.
.
.
post_max_size = 16M
.
.
.
upload_max_filesize = 8M

These are the new values.

Then I reloaded apache

After that i was unable to access my site.
I tried to stop the httpd deamon but it faild
when i started it however it says

Code:

Starting httpd:          [ OK ]

then when i run

Code:

ps aux | grep httpd

or

Code:

ps -ef | grep httpd

apache/httpd does not show up (with the exception of the actual grep command)

looking in /var/log/http/error_log i see:

Code:

[Thu Oct 30 16:48:29 2008] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec)
[Thu Oct 30 16:48:30 2008] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...
[Thu Oct 30 16:48:30 2008] [notice] Digest: done
Allowed memory size of 32 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9 bytes)

I really need to get this back up and running ASAP so any help or clues would be wonderful.

I'll give you one clue: 32 bytes is not a lot of memory.

I think you meant 32M.

Thanks switching it to 32M fixed it. DUH!
