No Snapshot with Snapshot

I When running a snapshot, no matter what I try I just got errors, sometimes the page just freeze with no info at all.
It may be the server it may be not.
Any advise?

Hey BKBAI

Hope all is well with you and !

This sounds like a memory issue. Can you increase the memory allocated to PHP as shown here please ?

https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP

Set it to something really high, like 512MB

Cheers

Any workaround with servers that have less memory? This one is 256M and is the maximum
Thanks

Sorry I misread your answer.
It was a really good advise and did use it to solve other related issues.
Thanks so much!

Unfortunately I still have errors,

The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete
your request.

Please contact the server administrator at
admin@main-hosting.eu to inform them of the time this error occurred,
and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available
in the server error log.

Any workaround with servers that have little memory and no option to increase it? This one is 256M and is the maximum.

Hello BKBAI,

I hope you are well today. I apologize for the delay in response.

Yes, there is a modification you can make to your wp-config.php file that will reduce the size of "chunks" that Snapshot does during backup, thus reducing the amount of memory needed to run. However, the trade-off is that Snapshots will take longer to run. To reduce the chunk size of your Snapshots, please add the following to your wp-config.php file, just above where it says /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
```
// Reduce Snapshot Table Query Chunks
define('SNAPSHOT_TABLESET_CHUNK_SIZE', 100);

// Reduce Snapshot File Chunks
define('SNAPSHOT_FILESET_CHUNK_SIZE', 10);
```
If you still run into problems, you can always reduce these values a bit more.

Let us know if you have any further questions. We'll be happy to help! :slight_smile:

Best regards,

James Morris
