Ghost blog app keeps stopping

[marvin speakman]

Hi,

I've installed Ghost but the server keeps stopping, it comes back up but then just stops again.

Nothing in the logs to show me whats causing it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Update: from my application log:

Application stopped. (API app stop) Thu Nov 07 2013 20:15:03 GMT+0100 (CET)
Governor limit exceeded. Application ghostmarv has been stopped.

Sorry for that. Ghost is too large for the small model and other models cannot be chosen yet. I switched ghostmarv for you to medium.

Hey can I get an upgrade for my project "zooth"? It's doing the same thing:

Application stopped. (API app stop) Sun Nov 17 2013 14:30:02 GMT+0100 (CET) Governor limit exceeded. Application zooth has been stopped.

I hope that will solve it, but I'm not sure.

"Zooth" is a generic game server that can route data for multiple games at once, It gets this error message and shutsdown after I've been running it for a day. Also it shows it's ram usage is always at 100%. I hosted a similar server with nodejs v0.6 (and older versions of express and socket.io) that didn't have this high ram usage and would stay on for weeks.

You said that there were instability and performance issues with node v0.10.

I've been running the same server with the same versions of nodejs, express, and socket.io on my local machine for days and it still servers html and accepts websockets. I don't know what the RAM limit is on small apps but on my local machine it only takes 44 mb of RAM. My local computer is windows 7.

I'm going to make another app using nodejs v0.8 and leave it running the same code to see if it fails in the same way.

I have changed it for zooth. Please try again.

zooth still has 100% ram usage even with the upgrade. I made a clone of it using node v0.8 that's only using 66% of the ram and it's a small instance. So I think it has something to do with that version.

They're both running the exact same code. I don't know if the v0.10 will shutdown with the same error code, I haven't run it long enough to tell, but I've been running the v0.8 for a day and it's been fine.

[Scott Griffy]

With the same code here is the one you upgraded that is running nodejs v0.10:

RAM Usage: 31.864 MB
Virtual Mem: 93.148 MB

It still says that it is a small instance however

And here is the v0.8 (zooth2) which is still a small instance:

RAM Usage: 16.724 MB
Virtual Mem: 47.896 MB

[Scott Griffy]

looks like the v0.10 server you upgraded isn't shutting down anymore, but according to the web interface it uses a lot more ram than the v0.8 running the same code.

[Hans Schroeder]

Yes node v0.10 seems to use a lot more memory. That's what I have also observed. The instance model display is currently buggy.

It's happening to me too, I have a Ghost blog running it stops after some hours. 

[Hans Schroeder]

What is the app's name?

[Lucas Facchini]

The name of the app is my name: lucas

[Hans Schroeder]

Hi Lucas,

it should work now.

[Lucas Facchini]

Now it's running fine.

Thanks!

Hey Hans,

  I have the same issue. I've set up a ghost blog (grammaruthie) and am exceeding the governor limit. Would it be possible for me to get bumped up to medium as well?

Thanks

[Hans Schroeder]

Hey Mike,

Its now on medium too,

Cheers,

Hans

[Lucas Facchini]

I know there must be other bigger problems but.. this stopping issue will be solved? because I would like to do some tests with Ghost, but if I delete my current app, the medium config goes away too..

Thanks.

[Hans Schroeder]

Hi,

For apps with higher requirements, you can choose the medium or large model depending on your plan.

It doesn't happen with Ghost anymore. I've been running the latest ghost version for 1 month on Simple instance and no problem so far.
