I have had major problems recently with page not found message after clicking checkout from the basket for certain orders (not all of them)
 
+ if somebody saved a cart and retrieved it the same page not found error occured when checking out
 
I tried everything and eventually found that by adding this to my .htaccess file that the problem went away.
 
php_value memory_limit 16M
 
Can anybody advise what setting is the optimum for use with the Viart system and why this was an issue in the first place 8M is quote high anyway is it not ??
 
Regards

Not sure what version of PHP you are using but for all latest version of PHP default value for memory limit 128M
8M before PHP 5.2.0
16M in PHP 5.2.0

Thanks Monk,
 
I am using 4.3 version.
 
I was considering an upgrade but fear that my version (2.6.2) of zend optimizer is not compatible with the latest version of php.
 
We are heading for our busiest time of year and I am just relieved to to have some sort of normality on our system. It's been a nighmare the last couple of days customers couldn't checkout.
 
But the memory setting change did the trick....pure luck really just googled the problem.
 
Should I go higher than 16MB do you think, and if so using version 4.3 will there be any issues if i go to high. I read a lot about security and speed also.
 
It would be great if there was some sort of optimum settings list for a .htaccess file for the Viart stores to cover things like this.
 
Again, many thanks ! any advice would be welcome regarding the upgrade I mean is 4.3 sufficient or should I really be looking at upgrading.
 
That said I might not bother till after the Christmas "rush" anyway
