For a D6 site, in addition to most of the core modules,
my add-on module list is going to look like this:

views
cck
organic groups
pathauto
token
i18n

tinymce
imce

webform
simplenews
domain access
node privacy by role
dhtml menu
quicktabs

extlink
local email
alt_login

I have 32mb of php memory on a shared server. With these modules, will that be enough memory for a website with an average of 100 users at any one time (400 max)? Does increasing memory allocation in htaccess rely on the host allowing and enabling it?

Thanks.

PHP memory is per-process.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean though. I've read some threads where users have added, say, the views module, and suddenly get memory errors. They've either increased their php memory, or uninstalled some of the other modules.

But you seem to be suggesting that it isn't possible to tell if 32mb is enough memory just by looking at the list of modules? Is there a way of monitoring how much memory is needed by my drupal install?

EDIT: I contacted my host, who said that if I got a memory error, just to email them and they'd increase my limit; it can't be increased by htaccess. Although that's great to hear, I'd still like information about the above question if anyone knows anything about it.

Cheers.
