vps running out of memory, 200MB free
- by demon
At the beginning of this year I took a VPS for my website because I was running against the resource limits from a shared hosting.
Here are the things I know:
2GB memory, with 1GB swap
Debian X64 server ED installed
Software running on the webserver:
mysql
apache
postfix
pop3
imap
amavisd
clamd
cron
fail2ban
munin-node
pure-ftpd
spamd
nginx
Now for the setup:
Nginx listens on port 80 and handles the static files, the php side is done by apache2 running mod_php in combi with apc(no var caching!).
Iam using a pretty 'busy' drupal and phpbb stack on the server, for drupal iam using boost and authcache to handle of the server load with a pressflow stack. phpbb is just phpbb3 with some mods installed, but has at max 30 users online at a time..
The problem is that its staring to use the swap after a few days after a reboot and thus the site becomes slower.
I'v added pictures of monit and munin, so maybe somebody can help me out...
