laravel memory limit error on apache2 ubuntu

Question

Symfony\\Component\\Debug\\Exception\\FatalErrorException: Allowed memory size of 734003200 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 67108872 bytes) in /var/www/html/ProjectName/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Connection.php:347

I am getting above error. I've tried increasing the max_memory in php.ini .

But still getting the error.

Answer 1

First Edit your max_memory in php.ini than restart your apache2 with this command

service apache2 restart

Hope this will work fine

Answer 2

the server was on EC2 instance. first i tried to increase the limit in php.ini file. My EC2 instace was t2.micro with just 1 GB of ram. I resized the EC2 instance to t2.small . also increased memory limit in php.ini. This solved the issue.
