Question

Anyone tried installing the Play framework or Scala on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit?

  • Posted November 30, 2012

I am going to try it. I was able to install Java 1.7, Scala, and Play! on my other VPS. I was able to set up a Play! project with Scala, it built just fine, and I was able to run the app. I could not get to the server for some reason. I rebooted my VPS, logged in via Putty, and boom the Play! path with no longer work. I will give it a shot.

I’m trying to get Play running via Dokku but I constantly run out of memory. I’m using a 1 GB Droplet with 2GB swap. How do I get over this?

I am on the same boat. <br>I downloaded Play and when I run my app is ends with “Killed”. <br>I am going to try swap you mentioned.

How’d your testing go Jeff? Do you recommend Play on this service?

Hi raiyu. <br> <br>I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS of the 512 MB variety (not that it would help much), but I know Play! was quite slow on my other VPS. I added the swap file so we will see what happens. I know the JVM is a resource hog. I am going to try it. Worst case scenario…I re-image and try something else…not a big deal :-) I am trying to figure out what would work best for the app I am trying to build.

If you were running it on a 256MB virtual server it sounds like you may be running out of resources, given that you are install Java and a couple of things that may take up a lot of memory. <br> <br>You can add swap: <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-12-04 <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-add-swap-on-centos-6 <br> <br>Or try a larger server. <br>
