I’ve got vps account couple weeks ago, but at this moment now I want to setup the wordpress engine on vps box. I setup my own vps account and set the RAM to guaranteed 128 M and burstable to 256.

I use Ubuntu 9.04 and mysql server 5.0.75. Everything looked okay, until I got this message when proceed the wordpress wizard.

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 6815744) (tried to allocate 4864 bytes) in /home/koro/public_html/wp-includes/kses.php on line 1026

I check the RAM usage about the lack of memory above

koro@koro:~$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 256 252 3 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 252 3
Swap: 0 0 0

So I try to change the RAM to unlimited, and it works well. But I think 384 M will be enough. Before get the error message, of course I need to setup a little by creating the databases needed and create also the user for database.

Here is these commands

mysql> create user 'koro'@'localhost' identified by 'somepass';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

mysql> grant all privileges on korowp.* to 'koro'@'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

mysql> create database korowp;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
