給WebFaction的回信

破爛英文

雖然我的英文很爛，但是七拼八湊讓對方聽懂應該還可以，只是每次對方聽懂了，感覺好像也就沒事了，但是其實有很多錯字、錯用和不通順在裡面，如果不管或許會一直錯用下去，如果我記錄下來，在寫完之後重新看過，找出錯誤來，或許才是進步的好方法

劇情提要 XD

這次WebFaction的系統發信來告知記憶體超出使用限制，所以回應解釋我的解決方案

Hello,

Right now (2008-10-01 20:01:58 CDT) it appears that your processes on Web54 are using more memory than your plan allows.

If you haven’t read it yet, we recommend that you have a look at our "Memory usage" article (http://blog.webfaction.com/memory-usage) for tips on how to keep your memory usage down.

Your total allowed memory is 120MB and your current memory usage is 171MB.

You need to either find a way to keep your memory down or you’ll have to upgrade to a plan that allows more memory.

Please respond to this message to let us know how you’re dealing with the problem.

Below is the list of processes that you’re running with the memory that they use (the command used to list these processes is "ps -u victorlin -o rss,etime,pid,command"):

User – Memory – Elapsed Time – Pid – Command:
——————————————–
victorlin – 3MB – 7 days, 12:35:07 – 23278 – /usr/local/bin/python2.4 /home/victorlin/webapps/zope/Zope-2.10.5-final.install/lib/python/zdaemon/zdrun.py -S /home/victorlin/webapps/zope/Zope-2.10.5-final.install/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/zopeschema.xml -b 10 -d -s /home/victorlin/webapps/zope/Zope/var/zopectlsock -x 0,2 -z /home/victorlin/webapps/zope/Zope /home/victorlin/webapps/zope/Zope/bin/runzope

Hi, Thanks for announce this.

At first, I decide to buy your shared 1 plan for my Plone site, but it eat more than 100MB, so I have no choice, I buy shared 2, namely, Plone ate my money! Wow! Damn you! Plone!

To be honor, I hate Plone! It is a monster! Eat so much resource. It inherit so many legacy stuff from Zope, so that it is so fat. I have tried to understand Plone, but however, there is too many legacy stuff to understand. Too heavy, too old, too verbose. However, it is really easy to use and powerful.

After that, I setup another sites: WordPress and phpBB. Hum… Two sites and a monster, no doubt the memory usage would exceed limit.

I love your service so much, you have extremely nice support, fantastic control panel. Upgrading plan should be the most easiest way to solve the problem. I would willing to pay more money, if I am rich, but unfortunately, I am a poor student have no much money. And my site is for tutorials about Python and C in chinese. (There is little resource about Python written in chinese). I could only earn little money from Google AdSense. So I think it’s better to put upgrading as the last solution. I have some ideas:

1. Replace Plone with other CMF or something like that
The monster: Plone ate most of memory. So if I can replace it with other CMF, wiki or something like that. It might solve the problem. I used Plone to write tutorial articles only, so that’s no need to use too powerful CMF or web application. I have no much idea about other CMF or web application that could suit my needs. Could you please provide me a list of non-monster solution? That could be helpful. Thanks.

2. Move my blog(WordPress) and phpBB to another server(my computer, or server of my school, or some free hosting, may be)
I think shared 2 should be enough for dedicate Plone site. So once I move blog and phpBB out, it should solve that problem. But I have some question. Could I redirect my domain names to other server? For example, if I move phpBB to one server of my school. I’d like to set forum.ez2learn.com to specific IP address of my school’s server. Can I do that? I have no much idea about DNS and how could I do with your control panel.

3. At last, damn it! I have no choice but pay, for the monster
This is the easiest way to solve problem. But I hate to pay, for the monster Plone. And what’s more, if I upgrade plan to shared 3, I might have enough memory to run my sites, but how about bandwidth and disk space? The bottleneck is memory, but I have to buy bandwith, disk space, too. That doesn’t make sense. I have to buy something that I don’t need. If there is a lots of people visit my site, may be I can earn money from ads to pay, and the bandwith usage will not be a pity. But however, there is little people visit my site now. Indeed, it might already be a pity to upgrade shared 1 to shared 2 for monster Plone. So, can I upgrade only the memory but not bandwith and diskspace? It would be nice to buy what I need exactly, rather than everything.

Thanks.
Best regards.

Victor Lin.
