Suddenly error='Cannot allocate memory' (errno=12)

Question

So this morning I noticed my website is down, went on my server and saw that the webserver has been stopped.

When I try to start it again I get this error

 start -Dhttp.port=80 -Dapplication.secret=**********
[info] Wrote /home/Jakob/Apps/Botlanegg/target/scala-2.11/botlanegg_2.11-1.0.pom

(Starting server. Type Ctrl+D to exit logs, the server will remain in background)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: INFO: os::commit_memory(0x00000000d5550000, 715849728, 0) failed; error='Cannot allocate memory' (errno=12)
#
# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.

# An error report file with more information is saved as:

What is confusing me is that yesterday the webserver ran without problems, and suddenly this morning it is down? Debian 7.8 is runnin on the server.

cat /proc/meminfo shows

It seems that suddenly I don't have enough memory right? I really don`t know what to do, to make it work again, hopefully someone can help me out.

Here the full error log file:

# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
# Native memory allocation (mmap) failed to map 715849728 bytes for committing reserved memory.
# Possible reasons:
#   The system is out of physical RAM or swap space
#   In 32 bit mode, the process size limit was hit
# Possible solutions:
#   Reduce memory load on the system
#   Increase physical memory or swap space
#   Check if swap backing store is full
#   Use 64 bit Java on a 64 bit OS
#   Decrease Java heap size (-Xmx/-Xms)
#   Decrease number of Java threads
#   Decrease Java thread stack sizes (-Xss)
#   Set larger code cache with -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=
# This output file may be truncated or incomplete.

Solution

Your log sais that when the application is crashing, there is 224852k memory free:

Memory: 4k page, physical 1027040k(224852k free), swap 0k(0k free)

Also I see that you have no swap partition added. It's obvious that your system starves of memory. So you have to increase physical memory or add swap space.

To add swap space while the system runs, create a partition, marked as Linux Swap. That the partition id 82. Then use that command to set up the partition as a swap area:

mkswap /dev/sda4

Where /dev/sda4, is the device file.

To activate the partition use:

swapon /dev/sda4

After that you should see SwapTotal and SwapFree in /proc/meminfo.

To make this permanent add a line like this in /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda4               swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

Are you really running this in a virtual machine on a seven year old laptop?!?

[Jakob Abfalter]

Its remote vserver

[Michael Hampton]

VPS providers are everywhere. You should not be paying anything for this piece of ... rubbish. A decent 1GB VM on modern hardware ought to cost maybe €5 to €7 per month. Go shopping.

[Salem]

@JakobAbfalter In the meantime you can just decrease the memory used by Play using /script/to/start-app -mem 500 -Dhttp.port=80 ...

[Jakob Abfalter]

thanks for the help, I got it to run somehow again, but I will really consider buying a different VPS

[Jakob Abfalter]

Thanks for that answer. Can you explain to my how to create sucha partition on an remote server??

[chaos]

@JakobAbfalter When you have ssh access to it, it is exactly as I described. You have to create a partition for that first. But I don't know your system, so I cannot guide you step-by-step. So, be careful that you don't format/delete needed stuff.

[Jakob Abfalter]

I got that, but I guess the You have to create a partition for that first can`t be done remotely? I have contacted the support, hopefully they can help me out

[JDS]

I know this question about adding swap is old... You can also add a swap file -- this can be useful in cases where repartitioning the disk is difficult or intrusive. Swap file steps are basically, 1) create large file, 2) format file as swap, 3) run swapon on the file, 4) add this file to fstab. Google it
