I've just setup a default Drupal install along with the image module. The GD2 toolkit is installed and working properly. However, when I try to upload a jpg image into a gallery, I get a blank page, and I see this in my Apache log:
[client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1980 bytes) in /var/www/html/drupal/includes/image.inc on line 221, referer: http://localhost/drupal/?q=node/add/image
What does this mean? The jpg is only 160 KB and the site itself is only taking up about 3 MB. How could this exced an 8 MB limit, and where is this limit set?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Chris

This is the default memory limit of a single PHP process. Generally, for any "major" application like Drupal, I don't run PHP with anything less than 24M per process. Look for "memory_limit" in your php.ini file (which could be located in /etc/, /etc/httpd/, /etc/apache/, /usr/local/etc/ - depends on your setup). Change it to 24M, then restart the Apache webserver and you should be fine.

That fixed the problem. Thanks for your help!
