Open settings.php in your drupal sites/default/settings.php and add the following line in the top

ini_set('memory_limit', '32M');

This will increase the memory limit to 32M. Replace 32M with whatever size you want like 50M, etc...

for example
<?php
ini_set('memory_limit', '32M');
....
?>

Hope this helps.

Add the following line to your .htaccess file in your root directory will solve your problem

php_value memory_limit <memory size>

example:

php_value memory_limit 32M

Note: This should be added under the following section
# Override PHP settings. in your .htaccess file
