Up the php memory limit to 32M

[Bryce Harrington]

Binary package hint: drupal6

After flipping on a few of the stock modules and setting the admin theme after a mostly out of the box install I was presented with an error message:

  Fatal error: Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted (tried to allocate Y bytes)

I was able to resolve this using the following guide, which had me up a memory requirement in php:

  http://drupal.org/node/76156

It would be better if the drupal6 installer would take care of increasing this limit automatically (or offer to do it). If there are considerations where one wouldn't want to increase it, the script probably would be better able to make this determination than the user.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information.

Can you please provide the following information:
 * the version of Ubuntu you are using, and
 * the changes you made from the "out of the box install."

Thanks!

This was with karmic.
The change from stock was to increase the memory limit.

Did a fresh install of drupal6 on Lucid and see that this setting is improved in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini:

memory_limit = 128M

So I think this bug can be considered fixed in Lucid. Leaving a Karmic task in case anyone cares to backport the fix.

Doubt anyone cares about karmic anymore
