Admin Tools not working, blank page

[stex]

Hello,

I searched the board for two days trying to find someone who had a similar problem, but I couldn't find anything interesting. Here's the issue: I have pictures which have a very big resolution, sort of like 5000 x 5000 pixel. I do know that usually it's better to resize them, but I don't want to. So I used to use the typical method with admin tools. First I upload the resized pictures and add them. Then I upload the original pictures replacing the older ones and I run the admin tool to update them (thumbs only).

HOWEVER now when I run the admin tool it gives me a blank page. I tried limiting the pictures to 1, unchecking the auto-refresh option... still nothing. I checked the error log, nothing. I enabled debug info... nothing again. Just a blank page.

Any idea on how to solve this?

If you have access to do this on your cpanel please enable "display all errors" so we can see what is behind the white screen. I am guessing there is a PHP limit that you are running into causing the server to crash. If error reporting is set to not show all you will see is a blank page. If you cannot enable the display of errors then you will need to check the servers logs for more information as to what is causing your problem.

Right after using admin tools (and failing to update the pictures) I logged into my cpanel and saw two things:

1. The CPU usage was 80%.
2. This error: Cannot allocate memory: couldn't create child process: /opt/suphp/sbin/suphp

I noticed this error earlier and contacted my host. They are currently (and hopefully) taking care of it. And yes, I believe it's a memory limit at this point. I'll keep y'all posted.

Trick to upload directly the big images:

This is only if you can not edit your php.ini.

If you can edit your php.ini then edit it. Change the memory_limit.

Thanks to allvip's thread (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,77929.0.html) I got to fix this. Now I can directly add the pictures to my gallery without using the admin tool. Thank you guys.
