Plesk

[thegreatco]

Has anybody else been having trouble with Plesk lately? Its been acting up for me.

I don't have a plesk site, but I've used it. Could you elaborate on how it is "acting up?" We can't help you if we don't know what wrong.

what i mean by that is it was returning an error that it could not allocate enough memory to complete the task. i worked it out with jag tech support that coldfusion was eating all my ram. the only thing is i don't have any pages that use cf. the service was idle and eating up all my ram for some reason. so to correct myself. cf was acting up, not plesk. anybody else run into this issue?

CF Sucks, nuff said

Thats all well and good, but it doesn't solve my problem. I'm apparently running with only about 40 meg of free memory. Tech support gave me a over simplified response when I asked if I was using a normal amount of RAM for a vps of my config. They responded,

Right now your VPS is using 140Mb of RAM as it also includes the Burstable memory. Its normal as other services including Plesk is running and all consume memory.

Well, of course all services use RAM, but is it using a lot of RAM? Also, does anybody know how to find out how much RAM each process/service is using? (via plesk/virtuozzo/putty doesn't matter which way)

looking on Plesks support forums, if your running v8, thier seems to be few problems plesk and RAM usage

Here is one 4 pages thread on the topic

If you aren't using CF for anything then why not disable it? If all its doing is eating resources, I'd get rid of it. (That is, of course, unless Plesk uses CD--I don't know enough about Plesk to know how it works under the hood.)

I was going to say... why don't you stop the CF service and if your not using it just delete the server off the vps altogether
