DRUPAL: Fatal error: Allowed memory size error when editing specific existing pages

Question

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 18874368 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1481725 bytes) in __/public_html/includes/database.inc on line 224

I'm having this error occur in Drupal 6 every time I try to edit the following pages:

• http://chipkin.com/fs-8700-125-stulz
• http://chipkin.com/fs-8700-47-dnp-30
• http://chipkin.com/fs8700-14-ge-mark-iv-speedtronic
• http://chipkin.com/fs8700-74-veeder-root-serial-driver

We're on shared hosting so I don't have access to the php.ini file to allocate more memory, however I'm pretty sure that's not what's causing the problem.

Answer 1

I am on a shared host as well. Here is the PHP.INI that I created in one of the Drupal domain root folders:

[PHP]
memory_limit = 40M;
upload_max_filesize = 20M;
post_max_size 20M;
max_execution_time = 200;
max_input_time = 200;

I have no more problems with any global limits. I am not sure if the hoster can disable or override the local PHP.ini - mine does not, and it should be worth a try.
