[ubuntu] LAMP runs out of memory, but no indication why?

http://ubuntuforums.org – Is there some way to have Ubuntu report what memory all programs are using, when the "out of memory killer" is run in an emergency? I have a really simple LAMP server running "CMS Made Simple" for a school district website. It was originally configured with 512 megs of memory in a VM. It ran fine all summer long with almost no one using it. Then when school starts with many people using it, it runs for a while, then runs out of memory in the morning for unknown reasons, and the "out of memory killer" kills the SQL database. Down goes the website. I increas (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] LAMP runs out of memory, but no indication why?

As the title states, I currently have a VPS that, at first start, runs normally, but within a three-five day period the memory usage skyrockets.

Below is what I get from SSH using "top""

And here is the VPS process:

Here is why I believe it's not normal:

So after researching a bit, I can't really figure out what "Device Memory" is. The one it shows when you go to Settings -> Application Manager.

I have a 16GB S2, and I have about 2GB overall in "Device Memory". Is it just out of that 16GB only 2GB are available for apps?

Read a fascinating article on Lifehacker about this. The link is below and I recommend reading the body of the article. The part that I find most interesting is:

In Android, processes and Applications are two different things. An app can stay "running" in the background without any processes eating up your phone's resources.

Cannot see extra Memory 1 year 3 weeks ago

Hi,

I upgraded the physical memory on my RHEL5 server (BL460cG7) from 32G to 128G. When I rebooted the box I can see from the "hpasmcli" that the 128G memory has installed correctly.

However when I run a "free" command I can only see 64G of physical RAM? Is there a restriction on the max amount of memory a RHEL5 32-bit server can use?

Hi Experts,

Our servers running Solaris 10 with SAP Application. The memory utilization always >90%, but the process on SAP is too less even nothing.

Why memory utilization on solaris always looks high?

I have statement about memory on solaris, is this true: Memory in solaris is used for I/O cache, so if there is no memory in used, memory will be used by I/O cache.

Hi all,

I have a simple script to check the CPU, Swap Memory and Hard Disk. But I can auto assign password in the script to automatic run it in crontab.

PHP memory limit issue 44 weeks 2 days ago

Hi,

It seems we are unable to set properly the memory limit for php. In the master php.ini file we have memory_limit set to 2048M. But when a script is executed it runs out of memory at 341MB. We are running php through suPHP - in this case the apache RLimitMEM should not affect it I presume? RLimitMEM is set to 550MB. We have disabled the background process killer as well...

[ubuntu] Memory Usage tools 16 weeks 14 hours ago

Hi,

I'm using the command "top" to see how much memory the system is using (ram). Now, when I go to the desktop and run the system monitor tool that comes by default with the OS, it shows lot less memory usage then "top".

Top shows I'm using 1.7GB memory while the system monitor tool shows I'm using 560MB...
