I have not tried anything except the "basic" (simplified - i.e. no uselesss things like X, etc) installation... The reason for the small ammount of memory is that this machine will not be running any DB, it would only be a Webserver, and a PHP server, and even with the PHP, all of the files will be cached (so as to increase performance)... For these reasons we are trying to explore with the least amount of memory, etc, and most performance (Basically "Dream": Optimal Price to Performance ratio)... I Will try this suggestion.... > -----Original Message----- > From: Alfred Perlstein [mailto:bright@wintelcom.net] > Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2000 9:27 PM > To: Roy Nasser > Cc: 'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG' > Subject: Re: Memory utilization rises too much, and then machine > crashes... > > > * Roy Nasser [001128 15:22] wrote: > > > > After a while, the memory (with 3 servers) falls to > literally 0kb, and the > > machine stops handling requests, with an error that says: "no more > > processes" whenever i try to enter any command...
