Increase PHP’s memory limit, e.g. to increase it to 32M you could try adding: * memory_limit = 32M to your server’s main php.ini file (recommended, if you have access) * memory_limit = 32M to a php.ini file in the Drupal root * ini_set(‘memory_limit’, ‘32M’); in your sites/default/settings.php file * php_value memory_limit 32M in your .htaccess file in the Drupal root ————————————— On your own box, for development, probably go with the top option.
