Increasing the memory cache in php

[beyond]

Hello all, having a problem with Joomla CMS. Its using:

 

mysql: 5.0.41-community-nt

 

PHP Version:  5.2.3

 

I keep getting the following error, or similar:

 

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24576 bytes) in D:\wamp\www\okcc\administrator\modules\mod_status\mod_status.php on line 41

 

Noone in the joomla forums seems to even attempt to answer my question, maybe because it is an error directly relating to php/mysql.  Using mysqllite manager I increased the default cache size, doubled it in fact, along with caching to FILE rather than memory (computer has 512MB RAM). Cold anyone possible tell me what I "could" be doing wrong and what I can try to correct memory size errors?

 

I appreciate your time and suggestions.
