Exceptionally High Memory Usage On My Dedicated
Oct 4, 2009
I'm currently running vBulletin & two wordpress powered blogs on my box. Number of simultaneous users is about 200~250 and about 15~20 logged in users.
The memory usage is constantly in the range of 1.8 GB - 2.00 GB. Considering that total physical RAM my box has is 2 GB, the memory usage, I believe is exceptionally high.
The same site was running very well on shared hosting environment and also on VPS [with just 512 MB RAM] very fine.
What should I do to bring the memory consumption to minimum (required to run the site well?)

This is my free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1998 1903 95 0 45 542
-/+ buffers/cache: 1315 683
Swap: 2662 36 2625
Not good ....
I got 5 wordpress and 5 statics website on this server and 100 visitors by 24H00 each day.
Question 1 : Why the memory is so low and the swap so high ?
Question 2 : Why i don't find high usage process in top command ?
Question 3 How can i resolve this problem ?

I have a Drupal site with around 1000 visitors/day on a basic VPS. (HyperVM with lxadmin) Burstable RAM is 384MB and my site reachs it.
is this normal for a site like this?
anything that I can do to decrease the memory usage?

I purchased a VPS at wiredtree to upload a site that is in the works so that it would be "ready" once it was launched (had it sitting on a shared server before). So I have this domain on there, as well as a small wordpress blog. In total I'm get a very miniscule trickle of visitors to these websites (as they are not officially launched), around 100 visits per day, many of which are only 1 pageview visits.
My problem is, my server is already idling over its memory limit of 256mb. This is causing major slowdowns, and processes like cpanel are constantly be killed and I can't login.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing my high memory usage? I just can't image that the visitors I am getting are doing much, as for the majority of the day I have absolutely no one viewing my domains, yet my memory usage is still over the limit.
Wiredtree support says its up to me to optimize my msql/php scripts etc for low mem usage, but I don't see how this will help when there is no one using them in the first place.

I installed kloxo on a fresh CentOS installation, not the hostinabox template
I have high memory usage though as seen here

Apache appears to be running 2 or 3 times? How do I remedy this?

I'm running hypervm on xen a centos 5 64 bit box.
The problem I'm having is that after a couple of hours of uptime Dom0 seems to have used up all of it's available memory i.e:
[root@------ ~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1536 1516 19 0 993 247
-/+ buffers/cache: 275 1260
Swap: 16002 0 16002
I have disabled the memory balloon driver in the xen config and set dom0_mem=1536M in grub.conf, i.e:
default=1
timeout=1
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

We are currently running plesk 11.5 and over the last few months, the apache memory usage has been very high. On investigation we have gone through the logs and we can't find a cause.
I can issue a service httpd restart and the memory drops for about 30 minutes and then we see the apache memory grow to almost 1.5 - 2GB. Why this keeps happening?

I have a site that is eating up my server resources and need to know what the best solution for this is. I'm thinking of getting another server just for mysql but do not know what specs the server should be to handle the current traffic/database load and have the site run smoothly without slowing down to a snail's pace.
An alternative is to get another server just for the videos being served and leave the database and html on the current server. This is where I'm stuck and don't know what route to take with this.
My current server stats:
Dual Xeon 5130
4GB RAM
250GB
50 Mbit/sec
CentOS 3.9
Website traffic stats:
15,000 visitors/day
150,000 pageviews/day
Serving videos
I've attached screenshots of top and bandwidth usage per day. Hopefully with this information you could tell me if I need another server or if there are any things I can do to the current server to help things move faster.

I just got a new server Dual E5520 with 6GB RAM, SAS 15k rpm raid10. It's running well. However, the memory usage is just around 2.5GB, even when I have more traffic. Here is the kernel info

# uname -a

Any idea that we can put more content into memory?

It seems that a user may get more percentage of memory purchased for real use. I've got a xen VPS which has access to all 8 CPU cores. Guess this is a good thing to be able to burst CPU resources
[xwu@atom ~]$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | awk '{a++} END {print a}'
8
But this requires lots of kthread running to be able to access all CPU resources, which in turn consumes quite some memory, a valuable, limited resource on a small VPS instance.
[xwu@atom ~]$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep Mem
MemTotal: 524288 kB
MemFree: 276128 kB
The output above is grathered when almost no other services are running except sshd.
While XEN VPS surely consumes more memory than OVZ VPS, I would suggest the Xen VPS can be built in such a way less memory is required to just do the housekeeping.
Of course, that would imply careful provisioning, maybe less "overselling" for the sake of lack of a term. The bottom line is how we can reduce the memory usage, while ensure individual VPS instance can still have fair share of CPU if needed.
Is there anyway in the VPS kernel config which can disable access to certain CPU core, thus reducing the number of kthreads and etc?

I do not know if i have problems with my vps but "top" output looks strange for me. It looks like apache processes have huge VIRT parameter and all processes have huge SWAP param.
My VPS 712 guaranteed and 1024 burstable. I'm running 10 virt hosts with very small traffic. Totally not more than 500 visits/day. Most of sites are static and only two are PHP.
Apache and PHP configuration are very standard.

how much adding php to apache will increase memory usage on a VPS? This would be php5.
I need it to use phpMyAdmin to manage my MySQL database (actual site is running off tomcat but jspmyadmin won't work for some reason).
Or can someone recommend a database design tool (I've used toad data modeler before) which I can use on my home pc to generate SQL statements for execution on the server (and please don't say notepad).

We have a server that is rebooting, we saw that free memory reaches almost 0 before the server reboot.
i´m running a cpanel server on P4 3.6HT / 1GB RAM / load always under 1.0:
Apache
46.6 to 80 requests/sec - 183.7 kB/second - 4034 B/request
top - 11:07:15 up 21 min, 1 user, load average: 0.29, 0.38, 0.46
Mem: 1026348k total, 529632k used, 496716k free, 31148k buffers
Most processes are:
12239 nobody 15 0 49436 7324 3116 S 1 0.7 0:00.25 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL
Is the time to increase RAM server or would be a hardware problem?

I was just wondering about DA memory load. Like CPANEL load around 300mb and LXADMIN about 20mb. I was going to get VPS with 256 only to host 40-50 church sites with just static html, not dynamic or anything. Greatly appreciated with your input. I'm still learning all of this

I have a VPS with 384 MB RAM, with free about 100-120 MB. I've upgraded to 512 MB (to have some other features...). I notice that the memory usage is always about 250-300 MB. For example, now:
Code:
[root@host ~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 512 311 200 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 311 200
Swap: 0 0 0
But PHP tells "out of memory" in some tasks
The current PHP config is memory limit 192 MB (it was 96 MB, then I tried to increase).

Code:
<b>Fatal error</b>: Out of memory (allocated 19660800) (tried to allocate 39 bytes)

I'm currently playing with my dedicated server, it isn't much but for learning purposes it's more than enough.
I have CentOS 5.3 installed on the server.
It's Intel Atom 330 with 2 GB RAM.
Now my question is:
When server is running nothing but basic install memory comsumption is aroun 500-600 MB.
Today I have rsynced 11 GB of data from one of my VPSs to the ded server and the memory comsumption on the server sky rocketed to 2 GB, leaving only 56 Mb free.
Strange.. (for me)
And there was almost no (110 Kb) swap usage.
Now the memory comsumption is ~ 1.2 GB.

Since a short while back my server memory usage is 100%. The amount of
visitors decreased so the memory should be lower in consumption than before.
I suspect a newly installed script could have bugs or misuse of the
server by hackers. I don't know how to see on the server what script or
what part makes the memory use so high. I see Apache is very high but
I'm on VPS.

My managed dedicated server at 1and 1 has very low load, but quite slow, I was trying to figure out the reason. The top and free command ( I run at midnight without traffic), here is the result. Can anybody tell me if the memory usage is normal, anything suspicious. Look like the memory usage is high even with no traffic, but 1and 1 support say that's because it's reserved for cache.

I have a VPS w/ KnownHost on CPanel and 256mb of RAM (I know, bad mix). It's the newer CPanel that is VPS optimized.
There are 3 websites on it and get < 500 hits/day total on average.
Right now I am at 128mb used/127mb free. It seems higher than it should/needs to be.
