Nick Sieger: Pause tag:blog.nicksieger.com,2005:Typo Typo 2010-11-22T23:41:00+00:00 Nick Sieger urn:uuid:b93bb2cb-8904-43f6-92a4-2b9343fccd50 2007-07-13T09:39:00+00:00 2010-11-22T23:41:00+00:00 Pause <p>The size of this blog seems to have outgrown the small 128MB VPS it&#8217;s running on&#46; Any post/comment/change causes the server to swap endlessly, and I know some of you have seen 500 or 502 errors&#46; I hope to remedy this soon, but until then, comments have been disabled, and the site will remain more or less frozen&#46;</p> <p>If you do have a comment, please send it to me the old&#45;skool way (email &#45;&#45; with your name and URL and the article you&#8217;re commenting on), and I&#8217;d be happy to add it for you for historical purposes&#46;</p> <p>If you have any ideas on tuning my servers to avoid hitting the memory limit, I&#8217;d appreciate those as well&#46; I&#8217;m currently running Ubuntu Dapper with Apache 2&#46;0, Ruby 1&#46;8&#46;4, Mongrel 1&#46;0 with fastthread 0&#46;6&#46;1, Typo SVN revision 947 (a bit old, I know), and SQLite 2&#46; Upgrade to the latest Ruby? Upgrade Typo &#45;&#45; yeah, that would be a little more painful&#46; Switch to Mephisto &#45;&#45; more painful still&#46; Ditch Apache in favor of nginx? Probably, except I&#8217;m using Apache for SVN and Trac as well&#46; We&#8217;ll see&#46;</p> <p>I tried running MySQL (4&#46;1) for a while last night, but it too was swapping and the site wouldn&#8217;t even render, so I turned off and reverted to SQLite, which at least allows the site to load, even if it blows chunks when you try to post a comment or an article&#46; Sigh&#46;</p>
