X-Cart Installation

[Cas]

Hello.

I am in the process of installing a trial version of X-Cart Gold. After installing the files and using the tool's PHP Configuration check, I received a warning that "Changing the value of memory_limit is ... Off ".

It explains: "For certain types of operations X-Cart requires more memory than 32MB. This implies that, if necessary, X-Cart should be able to increase the value of memory_limit. Since changing the value of memory_limit is not currently supported on your server, some X-Cart features (e.g., creating an HTML catalog) may be unavailable."

Although the configuration check indicates that this is a non-critical dependency fail, I was intending to use this html feature.

My question: is there any way of changing the value of memory_limit or should I not expect to use this function with X-Cart?

We have memory limits in place in the server core and they cannot be changed on the Community Servers. It would require a dedicated server to be able to make changes such as this.

Thank you.

The places a memory limitation are going to be most apparent are typically in back-end administration, such as uploading a large database file. Creating an HTML catalog falls under the "administration" category, but 32MB of RAM should be sufficient as long as you don't have a very large catalog (or you reduce the "number of pages per pass" setting that is detailed on X-Cart's website).

In other words, the HTML catalog feature may work fine despite the warning message.
