Allowed memory size exhausted after moving to XAMPP on MacOS

[FlorianA]

After moving my Web IDE from Windows to MacOS, both with XAMPP, I can't open my PW-based site any more. The browser shows this message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/jvh/wire/core/WireHooks.php on line 205

On my previous Windows installation, the same site loads without problems. Even increasing the PHP memory_limit of 512MB by a factor 10 doesn't change anything (except the location of the error), so I think, a low memory_limit value shouldn't actually be the problem. But what else? Any help is appreciated.

Using XAMPP 8.2.4 for MacOS, ProcessWire 3.0.200.

Hi @FlorianA

Looks like there is some endless loop issue in your php that consume all the memory you allocate to PHP. The first thing I would do is enable PorcessWire debug mode. You can edit your site config.php to enable it by adding this line $config->debug =  true

You will have more info about what is going wrong.

Hi @Gideon So, thanks for your reply. $config->debug is already set. Where can I get the additional information? Is there a log file?

Hi @FlorianA

Just access your site. There should be some error messages on the screen.

OK, it proceeds, there were still some filesystem and database permission issues, that's why I couldn't see log messages. I still can't see my pages, but I think it's because something went wrong at DB import - e. g. the "pages" and the "templates" table are missing. Hope I can resolve this myself, thank you so far.
