VPS: Memory Limits.

m00se · #1 (**permalink**) 08-05-08, 05:18 PM

Can anyone advise me on the correct setting for privvmpages limit when doing a cat /proc/user_beancounters?

Should this be set to the same value as your allocated RAM? Mine is only set to ~64M (69632), and my server is hiting this limit immediately upon boot. Anything I try to run crashes out as it's unable to allocate the memory.

I only have apache, BIND, and MySQL running (as well as all the built in services), so I don't think I should be hitting my 384MB limit? I've being running the same (actually more) services on a test virtual server here with only 128MB of RAM and everything runs okay.

Thanks in advance.

Just as a note to this, the improved memory usage for WHM (VPS Optimed) has now moved from EDGE to a CURRENT build, which means its supported.

My memory usage for a vbforum, and 4 other sites (all running mysql) is 68Mb
