Hi,
We have about 20 users and I have access to a virtual server with 1GB ram.
I notice we are running out of memory.
Any suggestions on how to reduce the memory requirements would be
appreciated.
Here are the packages for apache and mysql also the mods-enabled for apache.
please let me know if you need the apache2.conf or the my.conf

You could tune mysql down, and tune apache to only have 2 or 3
children, but the admin time spent doing that is worth way more than
1G of RAM these days. If you do tune it down, you’ll be trading
database performance and making RT really slow.

Understood, I have upgraded the memory to 2GB.
Let’s see how it works.On 24/08/2011 9:35 AM, Kevin Falcone wrote:

Understood, I have upgraded the memory to 2GB.
Let’s see how it works.
Which RT Version do you run?
It would be great if you could share your experiences with me.
We moved your RT 3.8.6 some weeks ago from a 32bit Debian lenny machine
to a 64bit Debian squeeze VM with 4GB RAM.
Since then the apache processes eating up all the memory.
As we don’t changed the RT Version I think it’s not RT fault.
I guess there is a memory leak in one of the Perl modules.
We use all the Perl modules from the Debian repository.
-Chris
Loading less translations of the interface saves memory. Module that parses
po files is not memory efficient and I can’t find cycles to improve it.
Using RT on Apache with mod_perl without reverse proxy in front is also
memory hungry setup. Use reverse proxy for mod_perl setups.
Simple fastcgi is a little bit better as web server acts like proxy and one
fastcgi process may serve several server processes. However, each fastcgi
process started on its own by web server and don’t share memory.
Recent RT versions have external fastcgi server that uses forks and shares
memory.
I think external forking fastcgi server with nginx/lighttpd/Apache in front
may give most memory effective setup.
