PEAR problem

Hello,

I have a little problem with PEAR. I'm running PHP in safe mode, so I get a message like

Code:

WARNING: running in safe mode requires that all files created be the same uid as the 
current script.  PHP reports this script is uid: 0, and current user is: root

after nearly every command. Nonetheless most stuff seems to work. But whenever I run

Code:

pear search <package>

I get a message like

Code:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3735552 bytes) 
in /usr/lib/php/XML/RPC.php(750) : eval()'d code on line 730
Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 0 bytes)

Disabeling safe mode didn't change anything concerning the fatal error. The property max_execution_time is set to 30 seconds which should be enough. I have no idea what the problem is. I'm running PHP 5.0.3 on an Apache 1.3.33 and a default PEAR configuration. The following PEAR packages are installed:

Code:

Installed packages:
===================
Package        Version State
Archive_Tar    1.2     stable
Console_Getopt 1.2     stable
PEAR           1.3.4   stable
XML_RPC        1.1.0   stable

Maybe someone could help me with that. It would also be great if someone knew howto get PEAR working better with safe mode enabled. I noticed that there is a safe_mode_include_dir property in the php.ini file. Maybe only some directories need to be specified there...

Thanks a lot,
Lars

sounds to me like your program is running out of memory. Maybe you should try to make your program more efficient or try to alter the memory alotted to PEAR

Thanks for your reply. But I have no idea why a default configured PEAR runs out of memory. I think it must be a configuration thing. And PEAR shouldn't need 8 MB for a simple pear search <package>.

Problem solved. After setting the max_execution_time to 120 seconds and the memory_limit to 15 MB in the php.ini, PEAR works fine.
