Not enough core
Yesterday evening, the WordPress code signalled this error on the dashboard – the admin entry page – and subsequently, MySQL crashed as well, probably with the same error. At the time (23:00), I decided to add the entry next morning and look into it later.
So this moring, I logged in as admin – and again, “not enough core” in PHP and again, MySQL crashed – I cannot tell whay at the moment – I’m not in the center – but quite likely it’s the same issue as yesterday. Luckily, MySQL is revived automatically by it’s watchdog. A second attempt gave the same error in PHP but this time it looks like MySQL survives this time.
Watching the system, there is no appearant reason for memory consumption. I’ve been busy with MoinMoin, but only a short period since external system management had a higher priority: a friend’s PC had trouble when connecting to the network, it looked to enter standby mode when a network cable was connected. The cause was twofold: the video card lacked power, and the network card’s drivers were missing. This is now taken care of, and although there is still some work to do to make the system fly again.
MoinMoin
Jean-François Pieronne (who did the port of this wiki-code) read about the problems and
gave me some hints. One thing I want is to follow the same method that I use for the blogs – and that requires the definition of a number of logicals. I did define WIKI now, and assured myself that the files required were available: One thing that might have been wrong is exactly this file. A moincgiplus.template is delivered – and I copied it to moincgiplus.com and looked where I had to change things. I couldn’t find anything and so I just tried. To no avail: there still is this problem…

But this should not have caused the memory exhaustion…
Updates ahead
The latest consolidated VMS update has been downloaded, it contains all updates since the last one, and none is excluded. So one of these days, I’ll do an update of Diana.
