Laravel 5.2 Intervention Image 500 Server Error

Question

When I upload big images (4.2 MB) Intervention Image is throwing 500 Error...

private function resizeImage($path, $imgName){
    $sizes = getimagesize($path.         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem with Laravel 5.1 and Intervention Image library. In my case the issue came from the line Image::make($file) not the upload part.

I tried change the values of:

• upload_max_filesize from 2M to 32M
• post_max_size from 2M to 32M

Change nothing to the error I received.

So I increase :

• memory_limit to 256M

It solved my problem. My hypothesis is that even if my image was about 6Mo, the image library needed a lot of memory to use it.
