Encountering a 500 Server Error in WHMCS can sometimes be attributed to insufficient memory allocated to PHP. If you’ve identified this as the cause, here’s a quick solution to address the issue:

1. Access Your PHP Configuration: Locate and access the PHP configuration file on your server. This could be php.ini, .user.ini, or another configuration file depending on your server setup.

2. Adjust Memory Limit: Look for the line defining the PHP memory limit. It may look like this:

memory_limit = 64M

Increase the memory limit to a higher value, for example, 128M:

memory_limit = 128M

Save the changes to the configuration file.

3. Restart Your Web Server: After modifying the PHP configuration, restart your web server to apply the new memory limit. (If you’re using shared hosting or unable to access and restart your web server, simply contact your hosting provider to make the necessary changes after modifying the PHP configuration)

systemctl restart apache2   # For Apache
systemctl restart nginx    # For Nginx

4. Verify Resolution: Check the WHMCS client area again to confirm if the 500 Server Error has been resolved. If the issue persists, consider further investigation or consulting with your hosting provider.

By increasing the PHP memory limit, you provide more resources for WHMCS to function without encountering memory-related errors. This simple adjustment often resolves the 500 Server Error caused by insufficient memory. Remember to monitor your server’s overall memory usage to ensure optimal performance.
