Hi,

I've created a site. Members of my community can login without issue. However, when I attempt to login with my admin account I get an out of memory error. php.ini is set to memory_limit = 128M - I'm using php5, have all my tables as InnoDB. Any thoughts on how to get back to having admin access?

TIA!

Very unusual to exceed 128M when just logging in as an admin. Typically an ordinary page request for an admin might require 12 - 20MB, or possibly more depending on what modules you are using. I wonder if a rogue module is demanding a silly amount of memory? You might want to create a dev instance of your site and try disabling modules by setting their status column to 0 in the {system} table.

Thanks gpk!

I've learned from my host that despite what may be reported, and whatever my php.ini says, my memory caps at 40MB. I was able to login. I then disabled (and deleted) unneeded modules and themes. Then I changed the admin theme to the Garland - that seems to have helped some. Also, I added "RLimitMem 128000000" in the .htaccess. While these seem to get me by for now, I think it's time to look for a new host.
