My Mautic version is: Docker image 5.2.4-apache My PHP version is: 8.1.32 My Database type and version is: Mysql 8.0 Hello, I know it has been posted many times in the forum, and I went through all the threads and solutions I could find, but nothing has fixed the issue. Where does the value 134217728/128M come from? Is there any other memory config I can change? These errors are showing in the log: ```auto mautic-cron | [08-May-2025 15:08:03 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 47745808 bytes) in /var/www/html/vendor/symfony/messenger/Transport/Serialization/PhpSerializer.php on line 42 mautic-cron | mautic-cron | Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 47745808 bytes) in /var/www/html/vendor/symfony/messenger/Transport/Serialization/PhpSerializer.php on line 42 mautic-cron | mautic-cron | In PhpSerializer.php line 42: mautic-cron | mautic-cron | Error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate mautic-cron | 47745808 bytes) mautic-cron | mautic-cron | mautic-cron | mautic:campaigns:trigger [-i|--campaign-id [CAMPAIGN-ID]] [--campaign-limit [CAMPAIGN-LIMIT]] [--contact-id [CONTACT-ID]] [--contact-ids [CONTACT-IDS]] [--min-contact-id [MIN-CONTACT-ID]] [--max-contact-id [MAX-CONTACT-ID]] [--thread-id [THREAD-ID]] [--max-threads [MAX-THREADS]] [--kickoff-only] [--scheduled-only] [--inactive-only] [-l|--batch-limit [BATCH-LIMIT]] [-d|--exclude [EXCLUDE]] [--bypass-locking] [-t|--timeout TIMEOUT] [-x|--lock_mode LOCK_MODE] [-f|--force] mautic-cron | mautic-cron | [08-May-2025 15:08:05 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /var/www/html/docroot/app/bundles/LeadBundle/Entity/CustomFieldRepositoryTrait.php on line 100 mautic-cron | mautic-cron | Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /var/www/html/docroot/app/bundles/LeadBundle/Entity/CustomFieldRepositoryTrait.php on line 100 mautic-cron | [08-May-2025 15:08:05 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32768 bytes) in /var/www/html/vendor/monolog/monolog/src/Monolog/DateTimeImmutable.php on line 1 mautic-cron | mautic-cron | Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32768 bytes) in /var/www/html/vendor/monolog/monolog/src/Monolog/DateTimeImmutable.php on line 1 ``` Steps I have tried to fix the problem: - Set `PHP_INI_VALUE_MEMORY_LIMIT=4096M` in `.mautic_env` and checked the System Info page that it was applied. - The VPS where mautic is hosted has 8gb of RAM. Checked docker and it doesn’t seem to be limited. ![docker stats](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/e/e8a66d62186b871b169cd814c16bd237e96839fb.png) - Searched other memory configs where the value is set to 128M, like `opcache.memory_consumption`, set it manually to 1024. docker-compose.yml ```auto x-mautic-volumes: &mautic-volumes - ./mautic/config:/var/www/html/config:z - ./mautic/logs:/var/www/html/var/logs:z - ./mautic/media/files:/var/www/html/docroot/media/files:z - ./mautic/media/images:/var/www/html/docroot/media/images:z - ./mautic/themes:/var/www/html/docroot/themes:rw - ./cron:/opt/mautic/cron:z services: db: image: mysql:8.0 container_name: mautic-db environment: - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD} - MYSQL_DATABASE=${MYSQL_DATABASE} - MYSQL_USER=${MYSQL_USER} - MYSQL_PASSWORD=${MYSQL_PASSWORD} volumes: - ./mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql - ./mysql-conf.d:/etc/mysql/conf.d healthcheck: test: mysqladmin --user=$$MYSQL_USER --password=$$MYSQL_PASSWORD ping start_period: 5s interval: 5s timeout: 5s retries: 10 networks: - default logging: driver: "json-file" options: max-size: "10m" restart: unless-stopped mautic_web: image: mautic/mautic:5.2.4-apache container_name: mautic-web links: - db:mysql volumes: *mautic-volumes environment: - DOCKER_MAUTIC_LOAD_TEST_DATA=${DOCKER_MAUTIC_LOAD_TEST_DATA} - DOCKER_MAUTIC_RUN_MIGRATIONS=${DOCKER_MAUTIC_RUN_MIGRATIONS} env_file: - .mautic_env healthcheck: test: curl http://localhost start_period: 5s interval: 5s timeout: 5s retries: 100 depends_on: db: condition: service_healthy networks: - default - caddy-net logging: driver: "json-file" options: max-size: "10m" restart: unless-stopped mautic_cron: image: mautic/mautic:5.2.4-apache container_name: mautic-cron links: - db:mysql volumes: *mautic-volumes environment: - DOCKER_MAUTIC_ROLE=mautic_cron env_file: - .mautic_env depends_on: mautic_web: condition: service_healthy networks: - default logging: driver: "json-file" options: max-size: "10m" restart: unless-stopped mautic_worker: image: mautic/mautic:5.2.4-apache container_name: mautic-worker links: - db:mysql volumes: *mautic-volumes environment: - DOCKER_MAUTIC_ROLE=mautic_worker env_file: - .mautic_env depends_on: mautic_web: condition: service_healthy networks: - default logging: driver: "json-file" options: max-size: "10m" restart: unless-stopped networks: caddy-net: name: caddy-net external: true default: name: ${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME}-docker driver: bridge ```
