Hello,

I have installed drupal 5.x version and installed video, buddylist, weather, mugshot, birthdays modules

Site was fine for few days but started performing very adversely. Few seconds it shows up fine works fine but suddenly it shows page cannot be displayed or connection refused and other errors. I contacted the hosting provider but they says;

----Your Apache processes are consuming a large amount of memory. The script your running on your site is operating very inefficiently, so that is what is causing the problems. You need to reduce it's memory usage, either by disabling components or plugins within the script or updating to a newer version of the software that might be better programmed. There's no way we can bring down it's usage on the server's side of things, other than to put a hard limit on usage in place that would likely cause your script to crash, or to upgrade you to a higher VPS plan. You have too high memory usage from your scripts, so you need to reduce that usage.----

Please let me know if anyone can help me or how to make it(site) optimistic performance.

Regards.

you have a few options.

change hosts (most shared hosts are the same)
do as your host wants, and go for a VPS plan where you have far more control than that of a shared account.
or systematically remove modules until your shared plan doesn't go over the amount of resources you are alotted.

Believe me. All your current problems will run away the very same day that you get some kind of *dedicated* server.

If you have a decent number of visitors you just can't run Drupal on any kind of shared hosting anymore.

Hell thanks for your inputs but this is not the scenario.

I have two sites running on drupal what are on this VPS

after along pull support guys gave this response (from the start they keep on saying ffmpeg needs more memory upgrade upgrade but the fact is that I have already requested them to turn off, so where is the question of need for more memory)
the response lastly I received is ;

[Thu Apr 19 20:58:01 2007] [error] [client xx.xxx.x4.22] mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use 'RewriteOptions MaxRedirects' to increase the limit if neccessary.
[Thu Apr 19 20:58:01 2007] [error] [client 2x.xxx.xx.22] mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use 'RewriteOptions MaxRedirects' to increase the limit if neccessary.

So how does this can be rectified.

The other fact is I get good number of visitors for one site among these two drupal cms sites, the one which I am referring now is very new (just launched).

Regards.
