Hi, Yes, I don't actually know if I have very large blogs, but the possibility exists, and is quite large.
I am running FreeBSD so I don't have the ulimit program, the only program I have is called limits and these are what I get when running it: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home # limits Resource limits (current): cputime infinity secs filesize infinity kb datasize 524288 kb stacksize 65536 kb coredumpsize infinity kb memoryuse infinity kb memorylocked infinity kb maxprocesses 5446 openfiles 10893 sbsize infinity bytes vmemoryuse infinity kb [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home # I have upped my RAM in the unit with 512Mb to 768Mb, so I think I should have enough RAM now. Any other ideas?
