First of all a hardware scarcity would cause the system to become slow rather than causing segfaults. Secondly your hardware requirement depends on a lot of factors. Generally it is not a good idea to keep a webserver and a database server on the same machine. Things to check for would be : 1. How many file handles are open at any given point of time ? 2. Are you connecting using TCP/IP or unix sockets to your database server. Unix sockets are more reliable that TCP/IP . Pg anyway defaults to unix sockets. 3. Are you running out of RAM / CPU ? I have seen high load averages even on a dual 700 with 1GB RAM. 4. Are you running more number of webserver child processes than database server child processes. The extra ones wont be able to connect to the database and your user code might be trying to do goofy stuff. 5. Are you using the latest versions of apache-tomcat and postgresql ?? 6. Last but not the least - have you asked the apache-tomcat mailling list ???
