Redis memory crashes

<baris>

Can you post top as well?

What plugins do you have installed/active? It could be a memory leak.

A memory leak would be cleared up when the NodeBB process is killed.

Inspect top, sort of memory, and see what process is gobbling up all that memory? Hopefully it's not NodeBB

Doing this on my iPhone so managed to get top, but my power button's a pain to screenshot.

As for plugins, I disabled blog comments & Twitter (embed tweets) as they were failing, and pushbullet as I wasn't using it anyway - I'll get a full list when home.

Topping it off, a DNS issue has raised its head so I'll have to see if somethings happened with Apache. I'll jump on it within the hour and see what's what.

Danny McWilliams

Okay, here's top ordered by memory.

I've looked at Apache and there's no changes to the configuration for that - even after a restart (Apache, Redis, NodeBB) the browser's showing nothing, and the server is timing out; perhaps this is just the memory issue?

I'm about to reset all plugins, so i'll post how that goes soon, and give a list of what was used.

Danny McWilliams

On Apache, getting this error:

AH00549: Failed to resolve server name for xx.xx.xx.xx (check DNS) -- or specify an explicit ServerName

As I said, no settings have been changed in regards to that.

Edit - after a hard reset on the Digital Ocean site, the forum reappeared for a second or two, then vanished like a fart in the wind, so Apache/DNS doesn't seem to be the problem. Also, here's the memory usage after that.

All plugins have been deactivated.

My first reaction, why are there so many apache processes?

Danny McWilliams

There's a Wordpress install running on the server too. It's routed to onlyanexcuse.com - while the forum (nodebb) is directed to spflforum.com. It's never caused any issues before. Still, I'm assuming that there's far too many regardless.

Danny McWilliams

I've turned Apache off on the server and installed nginx to use that instead. Intended to do that for some time anyway.

http://www.spflforum.com seems to be working, but i've not yet configured it for the other domain.

One curious side effect is the font size in Persona has increased?

Danny McWilliams

Well, strange font sizes aside, the forum is up and running again, and this looks far healthier. Granted, Wordpress isn't running, but that's a job for tomorrow.

I guess we'll soon see if Nginx experiences the same issues.

Plugin list, I couldn't get earlier - activated a few we use.

nodebb-plugin-blog-comments
nodebb-plugin-composer-redactor
nodebb-plugin-dbsearch
nodebb-plugin-emailer-mandrill
nodebb-plugin-google-analytics
nodebb-plugin-recent-cards
nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone
nodebb-plugin-sso-facebook
nodebb-plugin-sso-twitter
nodebb-widget-essentials

However...

Memory use is still increasing incrementally.

Danny McWilliams

And this is where we're at today with it. Free -m and top ordered by mem shown.

(Bear in mind this is using Nginx and not Apache, nor has Nginx yet been configured to point the other domain to the Wordpress install, php5 has also been turned off)
