PHP memory_limit and OpenX DreamHost One-Click Install
DreamHost offers OpenX as a one-click install. Unfortunately, it wasn’t entirely that easy for me.
The OpenX installer choked because the memory limit for PHP wasn’t high enough for it’s liking. The fix for this is pretty simple:
Make sure your domain is running PHP 5.3. Create the directory ~/.php/5.3/ and a file called ~/.php/5.3/phprc
In your phprc, just add memory_limit = 128M to appease the cranky OpenX installer.
Run a killall php53.cgi to make PHP pick up your new settings, and retry the OpenX installer. It should work normally from there.
