License & RAM

[yvrdarb]

A n00b question:

I am planning on putting together a "learning" webserver box to run linux/LS/PHP/SQL db as a precursory move to jumping into a VPS webserver.

For total RAM on the machine is that equal to webserver ram, or is there a config in linux where I can only config 2 gig to the webserver?

I would like to start with the LSWS free version which is why I am asking about the RAM limit.

Thanks!

Hello @yvrdarb ,

The 2 gig RAM limit is equal to the amount of RAM on the server. From our Choosing A License page:

RAM Limit

A server can have any amount of RAM up to the RAM limit for that license type. LSWS will share this RAM with all other processes like normal. Using a license on a server with RAM that exceeds the specified limit will result in an error.

Thanks saw that, so you are saying no to:

Right, it's actual server RAM, not configurable to fit the license limit.
