style='font-size:12.0pt'>But Kevin, don't be confused by the example. I think
that doc was written when most shared hosts defaulted to 8MB or 16MB and so
upping it to 32MB made a difference. Given the error message you reported, you
already have 32MB of available memory. But it still isn't surprising that you
get the error, depending on what version of Drupal you are using and what
modules you have installed. I have my own server and my master php.ini is for
accounts to have 128MB of memory available for Drupal.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
