I wonder if its worth while to provide some information to new admins on what to plan for when their mahara gets busy? Mahara installs on vvery small systems with little resourcses required, yet when portfolios grow, errorrs can pop up. recently a 200 page portfolio would not export unless php.ini was tweaked. I think that should be made clear to the novice admins who may not have the foresight or resources to plan for that. I don't see any mention anywhere. Could this be under 'System requirements' in the wiki?

In our case, the export went sucesfully when the following where set in php.ini. Initial values were much lower.

max_execution_time = 180
max_input_time = 180
memory_limit 512M

Hello Dirk,

Do you know of https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/System_Administrator%27s_Guide/Scalability ? What about adding some more information there of the things you found?

Cheers
