<html><head></head><body>I run a server with 18 separate installs of ShinyCMS running, with at least 3 and sometimes 20 processes per install. 122 perl-fcgi processes in total. They look a bit bigger than most of your processes. I've got 8GB of RAM, and I'm pushing up against the edges of it a bit, but I don't usually have any problems.<br>
<br>
Hope that's useful info!<br>

<pre class="k9mail"><br />Sysadmin-fu needed: I have a personal server in the cloud that has 1 GB<br />of RAM. It's running Debian, and the usual server basics--MySQL, nginx,<br />etc. No X, of course.<br /><br />There are three Catalyst apps running, all of them fairly small, using<br />nginx and FCGI (I run the MyApp_<a href="http://fastcgi.pl">fastcgi.pl</a> script to a socket, that<br />nginx then responds to). But they're taking up all the memory on the<br />system, and I can't run another Cat app (and sometimes even system<br />commands hang for lack of memory). I tried reducing --nproc to 1 for two<br />of the three apps that I'm the only one using (the other has --nproc 3).<br />The output of "top" with "M" (sorting by RES) looks like (I removed a<br />few columns for spacing):<br /><br /> PID USER VIRT RES SHR S %MEM TIME+ COMMAND <br /><br />23766 www-data 440m 230m 2584 S 23.0 0:13.40 perl-fcgi <br />16958 mysql 428m 188m 0 S 18.8 118:14.98

I appreciate<br />that 1GB isn't all that much memory nowadays, but this is a very lightly<br />loaded machine, and I don't want to pay a lot more for a larger cloud<br />server to handle this if it's not necessary.<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br /><hr /><br
