Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 43148176 bytes) in php

Answer 1

I had the same issue which running php in command line. Recently, I had changes the php.ini file and did a mistake while changing the php.ini

This is for php7.0

path to php.ini where I made mistake: /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini

I had set memory_limit = 256 (which means 256 bytes)
instead of memory_limit = 256M (which means 256 Mega bytes).

; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB)
; http://php.net/memory-limit
memory_limit = 128M

Once I corrected it, my process started running fine.
