[FIXED] Composer & Symfony - Fatal error: Out of memory

Issue

I'm running Symfony 3.4 LTS with composer. My website works fine, but when I try to update any bundle with :

php composer.phar update
# or
php composer.phar update symfony/symfony
# or
php composer.phar update swiftmailer/swiftmailer

I get this error :

PHP Fatal error: Out of memory [...] in phar:/// [...]

Below is what I have already tested :

• increase my memory_limit from 196M to 1024M
• run the composer.phar with php -d memory_limit = -1

.. with no success. What else could I try ? By the way, if I run free -m :

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2002 361 1641 0 7 82
-/+ buffers/cache: 270 1732
Swap: 255 255 0

Solution

I solved my issue.

• Backup website files in local
• Install Wamp and run the servers
• Increase memory limit to 2G
• Make the composer update
• Upload the files to the production server

I'm very confusing about composer and its requirements. It's crazy...
