New Installation, Apache wont start

[hbellmer]

Hi Folks,

i installed ispCP on my vServer (after others wont work) an it seems that ispCP wont work to.

I Installed ispCP as described in the Wiki/Howto and there were no errors. But Apache didn't start, following says the error.log

Code:

[Fri Mar 14 13:30:39 2008] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/lib/apache2/suexec)

[Fri Mar 14 13:30:41 2008] [alert] No active workers found... Apache is exiting!

I used google and found some threads about the amound of RAM. Iam a little bit confused, because the howto says its a recommendation. My server has 160MB RAM garanteed and 160MB shared (boost), i thougt this should be enough.

I hope someone could help me

Thanks from Bremen, Germany

Did you try the search here in the forum?

Can you post "cat /proc/user_beancounters"

@groover, yes i tried but i didn't found somethinghelpful. Maybe i used the wrong searchwords.

The failcnt is quite low. Did you a server restart between this errors and checking the beancounters? Start apache again and check if privvmpages's failcnt increases. If this is the case, you should check the HowTo for systems with low resources and look for a vServer with more RAM.

[BeNe]

Code:

(12)Cannot allocate memory

This problem is realy clear! I have the same opinion than Cube.

Quote:My server has 160MB RAM garanteed and 160MB shared (boost), i thougt this should be enough.

Never!
