[BackupPC-users] On/off again Internal Server Error 500

Should I create a swap file?

--------------

Yes... if you can, add a partition swap, if not, just
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024 to create a file
with 1GB (1024 blocks of 1MB) of size, format it with
mkswap /swapfile and add it to the fstab and do a swapon /swapfile

Tune the size for what you want and your free space

Good luck

Higuita, I went ahead and ran the command on the server and it's been running 
much better ever since (no more Internal Server Errors, swap file and memory 
usages were each at about 50%). However, the server crashed last week and now I 
see there isn't a swap file anymore.

I saved the command I entered before, plus the response. I wasn't quite sure 
what you meant by fstab, so that didn't work. My apologies in advance for not 
being more intuitive here.

Thanks

Seth
