I have Aegir in Burst.net in a VPS with Debian6 x86_x64 with apache, 1 G memory RAM , two platforms one for Drupal 6_25 another for Drupal 7_12, I have only one site in the Drupal 6_25 platform.
I also have webmin instaled.
When I try do some tasks on aegir or in the drupal site trough terminal or trought the webmin I often get the "Cannot allocate memory" so I wonder if I need more memory or I if I did something wrong in the instalation , or something wrong in the config.
I have my sql config with auto_increment_increment 1 and auto_increment_offset 1
my PHP config memory limit 128M
Thanks for your support

I have aegir installed on a couple of servers running Centos 5.8. I have updated the original Centos PHP 5.1 to 5.3 using the IUS repos.

I found that I needed to increase the PHP memory limit to 512MB to stop these errors. This increase was also required to allow the upgrade from hostmaster 1.7 to 1.9 to proceed (using automatic upgrade via "upgrade.sh").

You probably need to increase your PHP memory, but you may not need as much as I required. Also note that in the Centos configuration, there is only one memory setting for PHP as both the CLI and apache module incovations use the same ini file by default.

That is a lot of memory, given that I expect to be running hundreds of sites on several platforms on my servers. My test server currently has 130+ sites spread over about 5 platforms.

Does indeed sound like you want to increase your PHP memory limit.
