Virtualmin

hello

I have a problem installing a vps Centos 6 x86 + 512 ram + 50gb Disk

try install virtualmin with :

wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

and show error :

=================================================================
[ERROR] Memory is below 1024 MB. A full installation may not be possible.

Your system has less than 1024} MB of available memory and swap. Installation is
likely to fail, especially on Debian/Ubuntu systems (apt-get grows very large
when installing large lists of packages). You could exit and re-install with
the --minimal flag to install a more compact selection of packages, or we can
try to create a swap file for you. To create a swap file, you’ll need 488MB
free disk space, in addition to 200-300MB of free space for package installation.

Would you like to continue? If you continue, you will be given the option to create
a swap file. (y/n)

[ERROR] Enabling swap file failed. If this is a VM, it may be prohibited by your provider.
[ERROR] Too little memory, and unable to create a swap file. Consider adding swap
[ERROR] or more RAM to your system.

How to solve this incident?

@jose1310,

The easiest way to address this matter is to build a VPS with more RAM. Also, you should really be using CentOS 7, as CentOS 6 is nearing it’s “End-of-Life” (EOL).

With so low memory you will have a problem to install any control panel (that is secure and worth to use) and if you cant change the server resources then i would suggest to try centminmod.com. It works, doesnt require so much memory and it comes with all what you need to manage the server.
