How do I add more memory?

[dferriman]

I am getting this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/EIC/modules/user/user.admin.inc on line 959

How do I allocate more memory? or am I reading this right it tried to run 19456 and that was more than 8388608??? I am a little confused

Okay, so where do I make the change? I do not have this problem on my server, so it shouldn't be Drupal with the issue, is this a code i need to change on index.php in Xampp? or where?

Thanks!

so where do I make the change?

In the "php.ini"?
--> Because the page from the link starts with: "This list includes the core php.ini directives you can set to configure your PHP setup."

gottcha, thanks! I missed that

[dferriman]

it worked!

In case anyone has the same problem later here is the path to the file:

/Applications/XAMPP/etc/php.ini

Just change line 232:

memory_limit = 8m

to:

memory_limit = -1

That will give it unlimited memory. If you want to limit the memory, set it how you want
