Hello experts! I'd appreciate help in this arena. I'm still learning and hope to support this forum with answers to other areas.

Everything was going fine, until today. I have not installed any other new modules prior yesterday, so I'm a bit confused as to how this error came to being when I tried to configure permissions by administering the site

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 12582912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 134204 bytes) in */includes/form.inc on line 1432

Appreciate feedback.

Thank you

I discovered this issue when creating a new role under user management.

this might help: http://drupal.org/node/76156. seems you have 12MB allocated; 24MB seems to be the recommended minimum allocation for drupal installations, more the better. actual solution depends on your particular situation.

good luck!

Augmented to 24. Now it works! What would be the best median for memory allocation for an NGO community like say ... 1/2 of Ecademy.com where they have albeit most of the modules installed?

all you can do is nudge the limit up as needed; i have heard of users using 128+MB, but between lots of monster queries, concurrent users, modules, views, large menus, etc, *shrug*. that will have to be balanced against operating system needs, mysql, web server, etc. maybe the devel module can help determine usage and allow you to set your padding.

the people at 2bits.com (i think) have been publishing some stats on memory usage that may be useful to begin a preliminary assessment. there are probably many others.

That's a lotta ram needed. Ask you host if they can up the run time memory cap on your PHP install or do it youself via htaccess files
