The other day my site crashed, I followed this tutorial and when I opened the error log file I was greeted with this:

The first thing that jumped out at me was this line:

[crit] Memory allocation failed, aborting process.

So I ran the following command and got this result

I have very little experience with deciphering error logs files and so I have two questions:

• Based upon the info in the error log file would it appear that my site crashed due to a memory allocation issue?

• I have no idea what any of the results mean after running the command

  :~# grep memory /var/log/dmesg
  

  Is there anything there that I should be concerned with?
