Should I create a swap file?
--------------
Yes... if you can, add a partition swap, if not, just
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024 to create a file
with 1GB (1024 blocks of 1MB) of size, format it with
mkswap /swapfile and add it to the fstab and do a swapon /swapfile
Tune the size for what you want and your free space
Good luck

Higuita, I went ahead and ran the command on the server and it's been running
much better ever since (no more Internal Server Errors, swap file and memory
usages were each at about 50%). However, the server crashed last week and now I
see there isn't a swap file anymore.
I saved the command I entered before, plus the response. I wasn't quite sure
what you meant by fstab, so that didn't work. My apologies in advance for not
being more intuitive here.
Thanks
Seth
