authority tab crashes

[nichtich]

Opening the authority tab with K10plus data at our local instance crashes with following error message:

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 64596008 bytes) in /srv/apps/qac/metadata-qa-marc-web/libs/smarty-3.1.44/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_template.php on line 233, referer: http://data.gbv.de/kxp/qa-catalogue/?tab=history&lang=de

this may be caused by faulty input data or a memory leak, looks like some infinite recursion.

Is it with a limited number of records? The simple solution is to increase the amount of memory for PHP. You should look for a file name php.ini, e.g /etc/php/7.X/apache2/php.ini (X refers to a particular PHP version). There are more such files, one for command line and one for apache. We need the later one (the command line one is like /etc/php/7.X/cli/php.ini). Search for a line like this:

memory_limit = 128M

1. increase the size (e.g. double it)
2. save the file
3. restart Apache2
