Question: 

I am trying to follow Dorien's book on my Local test site. When I try to access the Modules I get the following error message--- "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 914098 bytes) in C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal\includes\database.mysql-common.inc on line 41"
Please what does this mean and how can I get back to developing my site?

Second Question!!! A client would like a site that tracks the sales of his products from a fleet of about 20 trucks.

He wants to be able to know which trucks supplied which customers and which customers are owing , which customers have paid and also how much sales is made every day. Is there a module that can do this?

Thanks in advance
Goodluck Nairaman

1. Hi there

Following your 1str question: thats a php memory allocation issue, it means that your Php max memory to execute process is not enought for your site, so you have to change it at the php.ini file of your hosting, actually its default value is 32mb and i would recomend above 96mb for heavy duty sites.

about your second question... xD i cant help with that, i dont know any module that would make that and i honestly doubt theres one because that depends of third-party software, i was going to implement somehting like that on a project i was working on but i had to decist because never found something cosistent about it. i was thinking to do it based on google maps but i need to keep doing research about it so i cant help right now x)

2. Thanks Xdemianx

Depends on wich kind of hosting your site is on, ie if your hosting on a local computer you should find it at your php installation folder wich could change depending by the OS of that machine. most of the Linux Servers keep it at etc/php5/apache2/php.ini. If you're hosting in a third-party host service then i would recomend you to ask em to modify that for you

4. It worked. Xdemianx Thanks a Million,You are Great!

I went to my C drive, went to XAMPP, found the php folder opened it and guess what I found the php.ini file. I changed the memory size to 96M as you suggested and everything went fine. Thanks. I am still learning so please be my teacher. You, Dorien who gave us such a wonderful book and all other DrupaFun members.
