Problems Uploading Images to Virtuemart
|
If you are getting this message when uploading images to the shop on your website:
"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of XXXXXXXXX bytes exhausted (tried to allocate XXXXX bytes)"
This means that the dimension (height & width) of the image are huge, it does not matter what the size is, because the server creates an uncompressed JPEG backup of the image to process, so if the image is huge, the server will create an image over 10 megs, then you get this message.
To resolve this issue, you will need to use the Microsoft Image Resizer PowerToy.
This tool can be downloaded here.
Download the file and run it.
Although nothing will appear to happen, when you right-click an image (or group of images), the right-click menu will have an option to "Resize Pictures".
Select this, and the "Resize Pictures" dialog will appear. Select the "Large (fits a 1024 x 768 screen)" size, and click the OK button.
