Answer 1

GoDaddy seems to reduce the memory_limit value to 64M by default.

I had spend a day or two trying to increase the size, by changing the .htaccess file and php.ini file in the /public_html folder. But atlast I got the issue resolved as follows:

• Logged into Control Centre
• Opened CGI Admin > PHP
• Opened the phpmyinfo of my PHP version in the page (4 & 5 were shown, and mine was PHP5)
• On the first line, there is a note specifying that "the configuration shown is not from the user's php5.ini file". Guessed the ini file to be php5.ini and not php.ini
• Created a new file with all the configurations copied from the php.ini file in the root folder, and named it php5.ini
• Added a new line memory_limit = 128M
• Uploaded it to the root folder (/public_html) and it worked.
