Errors when trying to create invoices

[maximusimo]

Hi,

 

within Backoffice > Orders > Invoices I try to get all invoices in a specified date range (just over one day) generated. SO I put in the date range and hit 'Generate PDF file'.

 

After a while I get the following error:

 

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/domain/public_html/tools/fpdf/fpdf.php on line 615 (line number changes on each try)

 

So I change

 

max_execution_time = 30 to

max_execution_time = 60

 

but this just results in this error:

 

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) in /home/domain/public_html/tools/fpdf/fpdf.php on line 1093

 

Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this?

If you have access to your php.ini try upping the php memory limit.. 64mb is reccomended and 128mb possibly better (note in php.ini you don't need 64MB but only the M as below)...

 

memory_limit = 64M

[maximusimo]

memory_limit is currently set at 128M

Response from hosting company:

 

The reason why you are receiving this error is because PrestaShop is trying to allocate 128mb of memory to your script fpdf.php.

 

The maximum amount of memory allowed on a shared hosting account is 32mb.

 

If you require more memory than this you will need to upgrade your account to a VPS server.

 

Makes sense so I think I'll be printing the invoices out one by one if I need to.
