Instiki has been having problems getting RAM on the server I host it on. Placing a support ticket I got the following reply: <snip> We don''t have limit RAM or CPU usage per account, but instead per process. The limit for RAM for a single process is 48MB active, 80MB swap. We also limit customers to 20 concurrent processes at a time. Your Instiki instance is only using nearly 39MB of active memory, and nearly 64MB of swap space. Not quite bumping the limits, but close. I''m not sure what you''re doing with your Instiki exactly, but the typical instance tends to consume less than 5MB of active memory and less than 20MB (closer to 10MB or 15MB) of swap. <snip> Why would there be such a dramatic difference? It''s not that big a wiki; straight from the horse''s mouth: All content: 134807 chars / approx. 59.0 printed pages How can that be taking up: 41511 <user> 106 10 64560K 40748K select 0 0:11 0.00% 0.00% ruby the execution string is: ruby instiki --port=2502 --environment=production --daemon -RS
As a followup, that RAM level was with one open connection (or brower window at any rate) I opened 5 more in quick succession, to different pages (hardly an unreasonable level of use, to have 5-6 simultaneous hits)... That drove instiki over 48MB, and it got automatically shutdown... -RS On Nov 18 2005, at 4:34 PM, Rahul Sinha wrote:> Instiki has been having problems getting RAM on the server I host it > on.

As a further followup, if I take Instiki into an edit window then in a terminal kill instiki and restart it (putting it at roughly 35 MB use) and then click cancel edit in the browser window (the only browser open to the wiki) the ram use will spiral up to 48MB and then get automatically terminated. -RS On Nov 18 2005, at 4:37 PM, Rahul Sinha wrote:> As a followup, that RAM level was with one open connection (or brower > window at any rate) > > I opened 5 more in quick succession, to different pages (hardly an > unreasonable level of use, to have 5-6 simultaneous hits)... > > That drove instiki over 48MB, and it got automatically shutdown... > > -RS > On Nov 18 2005, at 4:34 PM, Rahul Sinha wrote: > >> Instiki has been having problems getting RAM on the server I host it >> on.
