How much memory needed for ES?

[OakleyForum]

I asked my hosting company to install ES for me, and they replied saying when they attempted to they recieved this message:

root@host [~/elasticsearch-0.90.10/bin]# ./elasticsearch -f
Can't start up: not enough memory
root@host [~/elasticsearch-0.90.10/bin]#

I am wondering how much memory is needed to install it? I am currently running a VPS with 2.5GB of ram for a forum with 300K posts, and our forum runs great. Is there a minimum just to install ES?

Just looked on the server and it looks like were only using ~10-15% of the memory as is.

Get them to check the config file to see how much its trying to assign.

Just sent them a message. What is the recommended memory allocation for a forum with 300K posts, assuming some growth? 512mb?

My hosting company said it was on, but I will double check with them.

Figured it out, it appears the host is having issues setting up the ES wrapper. Are there any instructions for setting it up on centOS?

 

[Slavik]

curl -L -k http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-servicewrapper/tarball/master | tar -xz
mv *servicewrapper*/service elasticsearch/bin/
elasticsearch/bin/service/elasticsearch install
ln -s `readlink -f elasticsearch/bin/service/elasticsearch` /usr/local/bin/rcelasticsearch
rcelasticsearch start
