"cache resources exhausted" Error

[peterstory]

Hopefully you can help me resolve this "cache resources exhausted" error. Perhaps there is an option I can pass to imagemagick to increase the amount of cache available? Currently, I'm using gifcurry from the GUI, but using the CLI is no problem for me.

Thanks in advance!

Hello @peterstory,

Take a look at your resource limits for ImageMagick.

identify -list resource

You may want to tweak or just comment out the policy map in the ImageMagick policy. The file is usually located at /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml.

Thanks @lettier, that fixed my problem!

I just ran into the same issue with the CLI version. Commenting out the following line was sufficient for me:

<policy domain="resource" name="memory" value="256MiB"/>
