Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 157286400 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 91 bytes) in /sai/vij/modules/field/field.attach.inc on line 696

i have a free space of 4389 MB in server. and I given a memory_size as -1 in php.info file.

    You probably need to increase your PHP's memory_limit from 128M to 256M. If you're using C-Panel, I am sure there is an option for that somewhere. If you use SSH command line, then you just need to edit the PHP's php.ini file and remember to restart apache

  • Are you sure the 256M has kicked in? Check your /admin/reports/status and see if it says 256M there.

Yes i think @No Sssweat is right. You need to increase PHP memory limit.

ini_set('memory_limit', '256M'); in your sites/default/settings.php file.

Increase PHP memory limit

Increase PHP's memory limit, e.g. to increase it to 256M you could try adding:

memory_limit = 256M to your server's main php.ini file (recommended, if you have access)
memory_limit = 256M to a php.ini file in the Drupal root
ini_set('memory_limit', '256M'); in your sites/default/settings.php file
php_value memory_limit 256M in your .htaccess file in the Drupal root

  • In your last code snippet are lines 3 and 4 other ways to do it? Because from my experience making the change in the php.ini file alone is enough.
