Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) Laravel

This means you need to also update your php.ini memory_limit directive.

Try put in your php.ini :

memory_limit=1024M and restart apache :

sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

Change in php.ini which is there inside apache2 folder

memory_limit=1024M

restart apache2

you can even check which php ini config is using by:

php -i | grep "php.ini"

This problem occurs when an application uses more memory than PHP allows. thanks to PHP's relatively conservative default memory settings. you can fix this issue by change memory_limit size in your php.ini

memory_limit= Replace your size(1024M /2048M/etc) change and save it, then restart the services.

• In Windows, you can find "C:\wamp64\bin\php\php_version\php.ini" then restart your service.

• In Ubuntu, you can find "/etc/php/php_version/apache2/php.ini" then run sudo systemctl restart apache2 for restart apache.

You can simply increase the memory limit programmatically early on in your code, before your process runs out of memory. If you do it this way, you can give PHP extra memory only when that piece of code gets called rather than increasing the memory limit for all PHP processes.

ini_set('memory_limit', '1024M');
