Crashing Zones - Please help!

[swish]

Umm, what is X ? =D

And yes, the total ram is 512. I use a dedicated host so this what I'v bought =P
Though, if I knew its a ram problem I would upgrade it in no time. But it costs some money and I'v been talking to Aza and he is not sure if its the ram.

After some long that the eqemu is running on the computer, it starts to run very low on memory. And when I close the eqemu, it still stays at like 100 ram out of 512 when there are no running proccess.

Maybe someone that knows Linux a bit can help me out ?

I was also wondering how I can install a new source on Linux. Since the binaries that comes from the site are for windows.

My friend Farce is the one who installed my eqemu on the host. Maybe he missed something. I cant contact him.

Maybe its just the source codes ?

The cause of the error should be written in the logs maybe ?
If so, can anyone direct me on which logs ?

Many thanks again,
Swish.

here's a quote from here http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...ka=LinuxServer ;
"Which version of Linux ? Well, it's not important as long as it's 'modern' enough. A 2.4.18 or more recent is ok. Memory usage will depend of what you'll do of your server. For private use, 256 Mb and 512 Mb of swap are enough, for a public server, the more the better."

When you pile in all these players, you probably need over 1 gig of memory. Memory is very important - If I were to have so many players on my server, I would have at least 2 Gigs of memory , so as to avoid problems. I know by experience, zones start to crash with many people using many zones, and little memory available for the server.

Keep in mind, your OS needs/uses memory also - I know by experience, a modern Linux system with less than 256 Mb, starts to get slow. So put something in like EqEmu and a pulblic server, add your OS and its applications , what do you think happens?

You have to read the wakii, and meet the requirements before you can start asking yourself what your problem is.

Alright, so umm.. Do you know if it means that 20+ players are too much for a 512 ram ? Anyone knows ?

Btw, again, I use really little static zones. I load only 6. Useally server load around 20 atleast =P

Thanks again for the support,
Swish.
