Potential Memory leak or am I just using too large files?

The server runs out of memory, so it seems it can’t handle that. What is the memory_limit setting in your php.ini?

The limit set in my php,ini file is 128MB for my local version I don’t know what’s on my test server though. Must be the same because the error is occurring on both my local and my live test server.

You could try to switch to imagemagick. You are probably still using GD Lib, which is the default library to handle image resizing. Imagemagick is better at handling large images.

You can switch to imagemagick, if it’s installed on your server like this:

// in site/config/config.php
c::set(‘thumbs.driver’, ‘im’);

So I tried it and it’s no longer producing an error but it’s no longer cropping the image with the focus plugin (see below).

Maybe Imagemagick isn’t installed locally? I know it’s installed by my host but I haven’t installed it locally I’m just using what was installed with XAMP.

<?php if($image = $page->coverImage()->toFile()): ?>  	
	<div>
		<?php  echo $image->focusCrop(2500, 550);  ?>
	</div>
<?php endif ?>
