fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

[Tuks]

Hello,

fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

Normally above error is occurred due to defunct processes running in the memory and is unable to allocate specific amount of memory for the newly created processes. (In short less RAM is available on the server)

You can verify the RAM usage on the Linux server using below command:

#free -m

You can also verify the defunct processes running on your dedicated server with the help of following command:

#ps -dfa

Now manually kill the unnecessary processes running on the server, so that sufficient amount of RAM gets available on the server.

The issue will get fixed as soon as the sufficient amount of RAM is available on the the server.

Regards,
Tuks.

Well, as hardware is getting more and more cheaper I will just add more memory to my server No offense mate !!
Still i appreciate your concern and effort which will surely help other dedicated server owners who are struggling with server memory issues

hehe...
it's not always feasible for everyone to add more server hardware every time when they face any server issue. Well, when we can smoothly run our server just by changing few server setting or by optimizing scripts then there's no need to pay for extra hardware every-time.

Tuks, we are thankful for presenting such helpful tips We look forward for more server management tips & tricks from you !

Great post Tuks!!!

It is observed that most of the clients face issues with the usage of RAM.It will definitely help many to troubleshoot the problem by their own and fix it. Killing unnecessary RAM usage would free the memory and help other important applications to use the same.

@Pongers:- Still if hardware costs are getting cheaper day by day, you should try to save money It will help you in many ways .. he he....

Good news everyone! I've figured out a way to use two different watch / unwatched overlays so now I can add them to the text-based lists. Update soon!
