RE: Out of Memory - continued

I inherited a system that was experiencing OOM errors as well and when I looked at it there was no swap turned on. It has been allocated, but never turned on. Once I got the swap working my problems went away.

I have also just noticed that the following text comes up when
i do a free
-m. Does this mean i have no dedicated swap space on the hard
disk with the
OS on it. If this is the case can i add some dynamically with
out messing
up the operating system, as i have 2 gig free on the OS disk currently?

             total       used       free     shared    buffers
    cached
Mem:          2006         94       1912          0          7
        43
-/+ buffers/cache:         43       1963
Swap:            0          0          0

Any advice would be great.

Regards

For now I have put the settings back to Overcommit_memory=0 and
Overcommit_ratio=50 which was the default settings. The setting i tried
though was Overcomitt_memory=1 and Overcommit_ratio=50 ( with
this setting
the errors still occurred).

Hi Andrew,
Could you specify what you Overcommit_memory and other
relevant settings
are at the moment.

I have had a play around with the Overcommit_memory settings and
Overcommit_ratio settings and i am still getting "Out of Memory -
killed
process" errors. One thing i did notice was the errors are appearing
on
