Hello.
I have 1 Vps. I have OS - "centos-5-i386-hostinabox576", Disk Space - 100 Gb, Ram's - 2 Gb. On the VPS i have installed Shoutcast for my radio station.
After I write in putty root and password I took this error "-bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory"

The print with the error is here img585.imageshack.us/i/erorrg.png/

How can I solve this problem?
Please help me and Thnx

That container is running out of memory. You can see what limit it's hitting with cat /proc/user_beancounters

That limit should be raised.

/proc/user_beancounters provide info about current limits.
If you want to edit limits you must use

vzctl set VEID --limit1 limit1value --limit2 limit2value --save

This command will change limits on the fly and store it in /etc/vz/conf/VEID.conf

More info in man vzctl Wink

no fear. never give up. never surrender.
