Hitting Drush Memory Limit

Published August 6, 2010

We love Drush, Drupal's all-purpose command-line tool, for people who can't stand checkboxes. It's fast, efficient, plays nicely with Version Control Systems like CVS, SVN and Git, and even cleans the kitchen sink. However, after moving our DrupalEasy.com site to a new server we encountered a minor snag. When trying to run even the simplest of Drush commands, we were faced with the following error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 311296 bytes)
