why there is always inactive memory according to TOP and how may i find out what contains inactive memory ?
Also sometime there is free memory available but i still see the sytem using SWAP for 100 MB+
Is it normal and why does it happening?
My Parallels Plesk Panle 11.0.9 (Windows 2008 r2) would not allow me to remove an old IP address. I've tried using PP Reconfigurator but encountered a problem:
1. I open PP Reconfigurator and click "Change Server IP Addresses"
2. Under IP addresses I see 2 addresses
3. I check the one that is no longer active
4. I select "Existing Address", however NO existing addresses are displayed.
Is there a way to remove this old inactive address somehow. I should say that we have 2 domains on that server. Both domains are associated with the active IP address.
The funny thing is that when using PP Reconfigurator we see that the inactive IP is still associated with one of the two domains (this is not true). In short PP Reconfigurator displays DOMAIN 1 and DOMAIN 2 associated with the active IP; while DOMAIN 1 also associated with the inactive IP.
Problem is that we can't upgrade our panel because the upgrade application considers our server to be associated still with the old inactive IP address and can't find the necessary ports for that old IP.
I was wondering why all the jails in fail2ban are inactive..
Do I need to enable all of them? or there's only a specific list that is useful?
My domain is inactive in plesk and not active !!
After click in active to Domain this error : Error: Unable to activate the domain: Either the domain owner or their subscription is suspended.
I have an account which used a remote MSSQL server which I have since deactivated, but before deactivating I forgot to remove the DB and Server from plesk.
So now I can't remove the remote MSSQL server from plesk as there is a DB associated with it, and I can't remove the DB because it obviously can't find the remote server! I'm now stuck in a loop!
How I can force remove the DB/User from plesk and then the remote server ? I'm now receiving errors whilst backing up the account, so needs to be done.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a VPS. And have had an issue both when it was 1Gig and now I recently downgraded it to 768m, because I am moving some sites to a dedicated.
However, the part I am having trouble grasping is that when I look at graphs from Munin, it will typically always show 200-400MB free memory (and free -m and top agrees with munin), but Munin shows 'committed' memory that is above the total Ram on the VPS and once the 'committed' ram exceeds the VPS limit, processes start failing.
So, why is 'committed' memory exceeding the RAM on my VPS, when Munin, free -m and top all show there is free memory available?
Code:
root@server [~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 768 449 318 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 449 318
Swap: 0 0 0
Here's a graph that munin produces that shows the 'committed' memory exceeding the total memory.

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

Any idea that we can put more content into memory?
I just ordered a server from serverbeach that should have come with 2 GB but I see that this one comes with 8 GB
Unfortunately, I seem to be missing 7 GB of ram.
Installed Physical Memory: 8 GB
Total Physical Memory: 1 GB
Windows 2008 Server Web 32-bit
Now, being a 32-bit system, I should see 3-4 GB of ram right?
Any idea why only 1 GB is available for the OS?

I have a 512mb DV server with Mediatemple, which I am running 24 (ish) domains off (most of them static websites) and a teamspeak server. I would say MAX theres 10 users online at a time)
Now, I know its running out of memory because i get frequent QoS Alerts in plesk (kmemsize is apparently the memory size):

I have attached my results (when I did top).
My questions are:
1. Should I be expecting to be out of memory running what I am?
2. Is there a way to see the problem domains (memory wise)?
3. Are there any ways I can reduce the memory? (I have followed this already:

4. Where is the memory usage coming from (I am finding it very hard to understand TOP)
I am hoping someone with experience of these things can comment on memory usage on my VPS partition. The master server on which my partition sits seems to be running at full memory usage and I'm getting lots of fork and mutex errors in apache causing apache to crash several times a day.
I'm running Invision Power Board on there with an average of 100 users in the last 15 mins during most of the day.
oomguarpages and privmpages are reported in 4KB blocks.
Hello everyone.i run LAMP on a dedicated server at theplanet.I have a small vbulletin forum.
I m planning to move to a new server.Just a quick question.for my new hardware,do i give more emphasis to ram or cpu...i will be getting 2 gb at the minimum.
SO,is LAMP dependant more on cpu resources or ram?
I previuosly have a forum hosted on a VPS with a 512 MB RAM (OpenVZ) and at that time it was only using 300MB of ram during peak time but the server was always down due to harware failures so I move to a new host this time Using Xen with a 768 RAM now it is using all the RAM available which is double the ram that it uses before. Is it really normal for a XEN vps to consume more memory than on a VPS using OpenVZ?

Which is also confussing to me because I am the only user. I didnt do any backups didnt have any major traffic. And my disk space "memory used" didnt change.
How much memory would I need to run a couple of websites, with gallery,postgresql,wordpress,dotproject,spamassassin on top of usual apache, mysql, php etc?
Most of the cheap VPS starts from 196MB or 256MB. 512MB upgrades are expensive :p
How much extra memory do I need on a VPs to be safe ?
Do I need something like 20% more of what I actually use just to be safe?
I am trying to optimize my VPS setup and can't seem to get it to use all of the memory that I have. I have problems even getting it to use half of it. What kind of changes can I make so that it uses more memory while reducing load? My recent MySQL and Apache conf optimizations I have read about here and other sites have sent my loads above 1, but the memory usage is staying the same.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've a question with XEN VPS. I rented vps with sweden provider and its 20 GB HD and 256MB memory. The setup isnt bad, done within 1 day. I check inside the vps and its XEN VPS.
I tried "top" command and wow, I am supprised !! here what I saw
Mem: 262320k total, 208708k used, 53612k free, 54680k buffers
isnt it funny ? 50MB++ left(not yet run anything, no panel running too). is it normal ?
I have other vps running inside virtuozzo, and got 192 MB inside. even its running so many process inside(about 15) that takes about 5-10MB each, its still have more left than XEN.
Mem: 196608k total, 82972k used, 113636k free, 0k buffers
100MB++ left,
I noticed that, VPS with Xen technology, are using up far more memory than others?
Lets say, I usually use about 300mb of ram in a VPS with openvz, but VPS with xen, with the same usage, is using about 820mb of ram.
Even without running anything...after a fresh install of centos 5, with only few OS processes, its using around 170mb of ram already.
Is this so with Xen? The expected ram usage with Xen? Or am I missing something?
I have this 512MB memory VPS plan from fdcservers.net and it kept running out of memory.
The memory went up and down like roller coaster every seconds although I switched off httpd. Anyone can tell me what RAM do they assign to my VPS? Here's the beancounter results: [Please find the result in the attachment] Dont know why webhostingtalk mess up the spaces between each texts.
We are running into yellow status often at our new VPS. We have been with the web host for almost 1 year and recently got moved to a new VPS. WHM often show a yellow status for Memory Used (80% or so). As per the web host, WHM shows RAM for the entire server and not just our VPS. So how can we determine how much RAM we are using so? And to determine if we are using more RAM than we should or if others on the server are the culprit?
never got this yellow status on the old VPS.
if someone here could offer their advice/expertise in this problem. I have a 256MB CPanel VPS. When Apache is restarted, memory is around 180MB which is perfect
However, before long, memory usage is at 240MB. Looking at top processes, this is the top 5 i get...

The main site serves up php content (No mySQL) and a few images. It also has a LOT of image requests which are redirected by photobucket via .htaccess.
The secondary site on the server (not yet launched) is going to be an arcade site running gamescript. I have been hesitant to release this site untill these memory issues are sorted.
My VPS Service Status showing
Memory Used 70.4 %
is that normal? how I can less memory used.

Second I just got following email from system
"The following list of files have FAILED the md5sum comparision test. This means that the file has been changed in some way. This could be a result of an OS update or application upgrade. If the change is unexpected it should be investigated:
/usr/bin/sa-learn: FAILED

/usr/bin/spamassassin: FAILED
/usr/bin/spamc: FAILED

any issue with server?
I have got a VPS with slhost but seems like I am hitting my memory limit when I check in VZPP.
Is there anyway I can find out which websites are causing high loads etc and get the limit back to normal?
is there a way to quickly check and see how much guaranteed ram my VPS has?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI just want to know that when I run the command free -m (/usr/bin/free -m) what exactly this output means:
Code:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3546 3395 151 0 261 2730
-/+ buffers/cache: 403 3143
I know that the values are in megabytes, but what scares me is the amount of megabytes left. Considering that I have 4gigs of space, does this mean that I only have 151 megs of RAM space left? Or is a large portion of that 4 gigs put aside for some reason (perhaps the cache).
If so, then why is this? Is the memory still practically free?
So my cPanel / WHM VPS (512MB RAM, 1024 burstable) is apparently using over 90% of its memory (according to the "service status" panel in WHM), and has been using 80% or more every time I've happened to log in over the past 2 weeks.
There ought to be literally nothing going on on the server right now (no email sent, received or relayed, nobody visiting the sites, no uploads, no downloads, no nothing). CPU load is very reasonable (0.11, 0.04, 0.0), and none of the processes appearing when I run "top" are using any memory worth mentioning.
What's the most likely explanation, and how concerned should I be about this (considering I'm anticipating a lot of traffic next week)? Would you recommend any specific further steps to investigate?
I have 512mb of memory on my new VPS.
I got it last night and i've been setting it up since. For some reason the memory usage is at 70 percent now.... how could this be? What happens when I open my site to the public and I get hammered with users? This was the whole point of getting a VPS!
When I run yum update I get:
memory alloc (XXXXX bytes) returned null
It's probably memory problem since my VPS config is really minimalistic... running updates one-by-one (yum update packagename) works ok, but it's pain in the a** to install 100+ updates like that, manually. It's apparently some kind memory leak in yum, does anybody know some way to prevent it? E.g. a script that would download list of needed updates, save it and then run it individually.
I recently upgraded my VPS account, specifically to get more memory. During testing, all my apps were consuming right around 400K, so I upgraded from 512K just to be safe.
At first I was glad I did be because I was routinely passing my previous limit of 512. I then started to approach my current limit and grew concerned. Then I noticed that my processes total memory did not match the amount of RAM the performance tab indicated (commit charge), actually it was almost double. Prior to the upgrade, these numbers matched consistently. I have investigated this for days and consulted my peers and the internet concerning this issue. I have concluded that these two numbers should match.
Hosting company said they shouldn't match and closed the issue.
Does anyone have any experience in this? I did run out of memory once when I was at 512, and it was ugly. Not sure why it didn't use VM. Which is set to 3gigs, seems really high, do VPS typically let you mange VM?
How I can see how much guaranteed memory I have ? And how I can see how much guaranteed memory I have used ?
Additional how I can see how much bustable memory I have used or how much total memory my VPS is using.
