Photos will not sync
Hello/Hi/Greetings,
I upload photos by FTP and they will not sync. All photos are 1080 pixels by 720 pixels
I can manually add photos just not with ftp. When I click on Sync it will give me an error msg. "Allowed memory size of 94371840 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /home/sfgumbo/2016.mempics.com/admin/site_update.php on line 490." It does add folders, but not any photos.
Database• 86625 photos (first photo added on Tuesday 11 August 2015)
•177 albums included 176 physical and 1 virtual (86625 associations)

Re: Photos will not sync
Hi Sfgumbo,
Did you uncheck the box 'simulation'?
Did you check the box 'directories+files'?
Did you check the box 'search in sub-albums'?
before synchronisation, there are 'easy' mistakes!
Also I would recommand that you try step by step : directories only first and then one elementary album in order to check if your host can afford the load.

Re: Photos will not sync
Thank you for your suggestions. I was able to get my photos to show up; however, for almost a year I had been able to click on quick local sync and it would update all my albums. For some reason it stopped doing that, but now with your suggestions I can at least update each album individually. It takes more time, but it works. Thank you for taking the time to answer my plea.

Re: Photos will not sync
your server is now not powerful enough (RAM) to process the whole sync. Maybe you hosting changed or the gallery became too big

Re: Photos will not sync
My gallery probably got too big. I shoot high school sports and I got about 95000 images on it so far this year. At least I know what to expect for the rest of this school year and plan for next year. Thank you for the info.
