Hello!
I have just installed OpenProject (3.1.0pre1; Mysql2) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit.
I am running it in a virtual environment and a remote MySQL instance.
Initially I assigned it 1GB RAM and it seemed to be doing OK with that (I am just tinkering, not doing any real work). Within a few hours it had consumed the memory, so I increased it to 2GB RAM. After approx 24 Hrs that is consumed as well.
To a beginner it looks like a memory leak; any amount will be consumed if I only run it long enough. Is that the case? Is there any help?
Should I deploy this for serious work (tens of users hammering at it 24/7) no ammount of memory seems enough. What is the experience of the community?
(I can’t choose OpenOffice for my task if it will run into trouble ever so often).

Sorry! I mean “OpenProject”, not “OpenOffice”! I should have had one more cup of coffee!
Hello Väino,
just some questions for clarification:
Kind regards,
Hagen
Hello!
1. No, nothing in front of OpenProject. I access it directly on port 3000.
(I am just experimenting with the system so far).
2. I’m running linux. ‘top’ showed that the process ‘ruby’ consumed approx 98% of the [2GB] memory, i.e. Ruby itself was eating all the memory (and also started to consume virtual memory).
(PS! I re-started the system and currently the ‘ruby’ process consumes 200MB at minimal load.)
Hello Väino,
let me answer your question from the first post (Should I deploy this for serious work?): No, by no means! :-) For production we recommend using Apache with Passenger. For instance, the Debian setup contains instructions on how to set up OpenProject with Apache with Passenger.
I hope this helps you solving the memory issue.
Kind regards,
Hagen
