If you have access to php.ini, you can change the memory_limit directive. Otherwise, you can add "ini_set("memory_limit", "2M")" to your settings.php file (changing "2M" to whatever value you wish, of course). On 30 Jun 2011, at 15:02, Joel Willers wrote:

There are many sources of info on this. I’d use my Google-Fu on this one. I don’t know specifics for D7, sorry.

Hello.

I am trying to update my 7.2 version to 7.4

Seems like everything was going fine but in the last step of the updat.php process I received this error:

------------------------------------- Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 65483 bytes) in /home/mujeresm/public_html/includes/cache.inc on line 418 -------------------------------------

How can I solve this? Ho do I increase memory ?

Thanks in advance.

32 Mb was okay for Drupal 5, but D6 needed more. And D7 apparently needs even more. I run all my sites at 128 Mb without problems. If you get too bog, you will be forcing memory swaps (paging) which can negatively impact performance.   Nancy

I increase the mmeory and the process run without problems.. I increase it to 512M, in the PHP settings was to 32MB.

Is that a good number?
