256 MB probably isn’t enough for me

Keep getting this today. Looks like tweaking the MySQL and Apache processes didn’t really work. Things still go down. I had to do a hard reboot today:

Out of Memory: Kill process 4446 (mysqld) score 124676 and children.
Out of memory: Killed process 4446 (mysqld).
Out of Memory: Kill process 4712 (mysqld) score 53658 and children.
Out of memory: Killed process 4712 (mysqld).
Out of Memory: Kill process 4727 (mysqld) score 53658 and children.
Out of memory: Killed process 4727 (mysqld).
Out of Memory: Kill process 4728 (mysqld) score 53658 and children.
Out of memory: Killed process 4728 (mysqld).
Out of Memory: Kill process 4626 (apache2) score 41595 and children.
Out of memory: Killed process 4626 (apache2).
Out of Memory: Kill process 4613 (apache2) score 41570 and children.
Out of memory: Killed process 4613 (apache2).
Out of Memory: Kill process 4742 (mysqld) score 104640 and children.
Out of memory: Killed process 4742 (mysqld).
Out of Memory: Kill process 4812 (mysqld) score 70759 and children.
Out of memory: Killed process 4812 (mysqld).

This 256 MB VPS runs 2.5 blogs and 1 Python.

Well, it’s time to upgrade to 512 MB I guess. I was intending to up the lighttpd server but perhaps it shall stay asleep but another 2 months. I probably am upgrading to 512 MB coming January.

  1. Perhaps a little more caching to lessen the load on MySQLd?
