CB Gallery Plugin Error

I've installed the CB Gallery plugin to J1.6 and CB1.4 which works ok when I upload small photos but if I attempt any larger photos I continue to get:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 50331648 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4839 bytes) in /home/xxxxx/public_html/administrator/components/com_comprofiler/imgToolbox.class.php on line 415

My php configuration on the webserver is set at 32mb for memory & file size. In CB Tab Manager for CB Gallery I have width & height set at 6000, maximum size at 5000, but get this error trying to upload a 2mb photo at 4839x3226.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

The error is pointing to GD function imagecreatefromjpeg. This is happening because GD deals with the uncompressed version of the image in bitmap format, which is significantly larger then what you've uploaded. According to the error your memory limit is set to 48M, this is combined with everything else you're running at that time. So you could by time you upload the image only have 1MB available of memory. I recommend increasing your memory limit to 64M.

Thanks for the response - I went in and increased the limit to 64mb as you suggested but still get a similar response when uploading a photo along the same specs as before:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 15176 bytes) in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/administrator/components/com_comprofiler/imgToolbox.class.php on line 415

Should I keep trying to increase the memory limit?

Should I keep trying to increase the memory limit?

Yes, that's about your only option. You're uploading a huge image and it will take massive memory to process in raw format through GD. If you used a 3rd party library like imagemagik (configured within CB configuration on images tab) it'd probably be fine. GD is fairly slow and inefficient, but is built into PHP so it's hard to not support it. Most hosts don't provide imagemagik and if they do it's usually on request. Probably going to need to push memory limit to around 200M. If it fails at that then there's some sort of other problem present.

Ok, my host installed Imagemagick on my VPS account and server shows its working however CB doesn't seem to recognize it showing "Not Installed" for some reason. I'm trying to enter the path myself but can't seem to get it this way either...

My VPS shows the following:

Imagemagik has been installed and is working properly:

bash-2.05b# /scripts/checkimagemagick
ok
bash-2.05b# /scripts/installimagemagick
ImageMagick installed ok
bash-2.05b# /usr/bin/convert --version
Version: ImageMagick 6.4.1 06/29/08 Q16 < www.imagemagick.org > www.imagemagick.org

I've done everything I can think to do and still nothing will allow imagemagick to show as being installed by CB, but other programs recognize it??? I've used "auto" as well as several paths including /usr/bin/ and /usr/bin/convert/ and still nothing...any help is appreciated!
