Out of Memory - continued

[Andrew.Bridgeman at corusgroup.com]

I have also just noticed that the following text comes up when i do a free
-m. Does this mean i have no dedicated swap space on the hard disk with the
OS on it. If this is the case can i add some dynamically with out messing
up the operating system, as i have 2 gig free on the OS disk currently?

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          2006         94       1912          0          7         43
-/+ buffers/cache:         43       1963
Swap:            0          0          0

Any advice would be great.

Regards

For now I have put the settings back to Overcommit_memory=0 and
Overcommit_ratio=50 which was the default settings. The setting i tried
though was Overcomitt_memory=1 and Overcommit_ratio=50 ( with this setting
the errors still occurred).

are at the moment.
