Ugh WordPress database crashes

Ugh WordPress database crashes

Ive been trying to be cheap with my DigitalOcean WordPress installation. I use a $5/month 1GB memory droplet which works pretty well. The problem is that if you run out of physical memory, then MySQL will crash and you get the dreaded, “No database connection message”.

Here is what I’m doing about it:I created a swapfile since I have 25GB, this will make it slower, but the crashes are less…

Avoid running out of Memory

Heads Up: If you're installing Laravel on DigitalOcean's 512MB VPS, make sure you add a swapfile to Ubuntu to prevent it from running out of memory. You can quickly do this by issuing the following commands. This will only work during 1 session, so if you reboot during this tutorial, add the swapfile again.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=512k mkswap /swapfile swapon /swapfile
