Maybe you need to decrease your ServerLimit? Each forked server process leads to increased memory usage. For a really low volume site, you can get away with ServerLimit 1, although I'd be sure to host your media files in a different instance (webfaction has docs for doing this somewhere). Make sure that Django and Python debug settings are disabled, too (apache2.conf PythonDebug, settings.py DEBUG). -Forest -- Forest Bond http://www.alittletooquiet.net
