Rails - Jan 2006 - Ruby processes consuming 1,000 megs of swap space

Hi all. The subject pretty much says it.

I''m running on a VPS-style shared server at pipespring.com.
I''ve got Typo
setup, and have been running it fine for about a month.

However, today I got an e-mail from my host saying they disabled Ruby (chmod
000) because it was using waaay too much swap space.

I haven''t changed anything with my server at all (Rails or otherwise)
in at
least a week.

I looked through the server, development and fastcgicrash logs but found
nothing that screamed "I''m messing this up!"

The server is up and running right now, seems to be fine. Running a ps -ax
yields about 8 or 9 Ruby processes - earlier in the day (after I turned
enabled Ruby) it was spitting out like 30-40 processes after a single
request to my site.

Any ideas? Anything else I should look at?

This sounds like you are running typo in development mode and in CGI mode.

If you would be running in production mode using fastcgi with working
static caching you should not need more then a single typo process.

My RoR processes (both SCGI and Webrick) eventually use up a lot of 
memory too. I periodically restart them. I don''t know if
there''s a max
memory setting, or option to automatically restart after so many 
connections (like Apache can do with its child processes).

It''s running in development mode with FCGI. If I change my httpd.conf
to run
Typo in production mode it fails to start. Dunno why.

How can I get Typo to run in production mode?

Make sure your production database is configured correctly in database.yml

 

You should never run development on a shared host, your admin will hate you
(as you''ve found out)
