Hi,

Iam trying to runt a Python TurboGear Web-Project (including the 
TurboGear application server) in a VE, but I just get the error message 
"MemoryError". Iam trying to get it run for days (Iam new to openvz and 
debian) - so big thanks for help!!!

MemoryError - That's a clue.
So are these fail counts:
>privvmpages       66
>tcpsndbuf         9236
>tcprcvbuf         2428

Up those limits and you should be A-OK.

That limit is about 260 MB, and I notice that the limit in your conf 
file is about 200. If I recall, TurboGears can be a bit of a memory hog, 
and you'd be best increasing the limit until things run smoothly, before 
trying to lower the limits.

Your settings for privvmpages, tcpsndbuf, and tcprcvbuf are too small.
Failcounts should all be zeros, or you've got a problem.

How did you configure your config file settings?  I recommend starting
with the vzsplit command (see "man vzsplit"), and making adjustments
from there if you need to.
