Recommendations for a Low Memory Environment for MySQL and Apache2
It’s no secret that this site is ran on top of Apache and MySQL. In fact, since I’ve previously advertised that this is a WordPress site, that is really clear.
Given my recent server move, I’ve been reconfiguring certain things. In fact, I have control that I have never had before, and truthfully I’ve learned things I’ve previously masked myself from. Despite possible difficulties and risks, I shouldn’t have done that to myself; I’d recommend to anyone to take responsibility of setting up their own server. It’s wroth while learning.
That said, I ran in to a small issue where the entire site wasn’t always rendering. While I’ve never completely isolated the problem, I did recall coming across the following on ServerFault:
When Apache and MySQL are installed their default configs assume they are working with more RAM available to them which can cause problems.
Along with that, the author posted starting guidelines which one can use to tweak their own install. While I’m not a Sys-Admin expert, I suspect this would be a good starting guideline. I don’t want to republish other peoples work, and hence the links are below:
