I'm just installing an Ubuntu 10.10 LAMP server. I'm following along with the installation doc for the Aegir Drupal Project (http://community.aegirproject.org/node/ ... figuration). On the point to edit the /etc/php5/cli/php.ini memory limit up to 192M I was surprised to see the existing value for it as "-1". I have not installed a LAMP server since Ubuntu 8.10, but I don't ever recall seeing a value like that before...
I'm wondering if it is a method of stating 'no limit' or some such thing? Which I suppose would mean I could just leave it be rather than edit it to 192M. Can anyone shine some light on it?
Thanks

I'd change it to prevent your PHP scripts from running away with all your RAM.

-1 means no memory limit:
