I run a Drupal site with about 70 modules and 1000+ pages. The past few months our site will go out. The network monitor that our host provides says that our http access is not responding. Last time I got this message from their support team.
Oct 25 16:31:10 dc2-vps1-309b kernel: OOM killed process httpd (pid=31462, ve=106) (mm=0b526100) exited, free=40727 gen=27130.
This is basically saying that our parent was killing processes on your server which could of lead to unresponsive http service.
Usually this means that you need more memory for your site. The parent will start killing processes when they over step their memory footprint for your server.
Your php memory limit is set to high for a vps server. I only recommend 32M for vps servers with 512M. Even then applications that use a lot of memory will still cause the same thing to happen. (being that the parent would need to kill apache processes on your server)
I was told upgrading our server to one that has more RAM, one of their 1gb VPS servers, would help us out. Is this true? Would adding more RAM stop my server from crashing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
