Hi
I tried to install Ubuntu10.4 Nginx + Wordpress and I can load my site just only a short time and got message on Firefox browser "The page you are looking for is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. "
Then I went back to ssh terminal and trying to check if nginx is running, I found “-bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory”
and whenever I use any command, I found the same message -bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory
then shortly after, It will work again, then after loading a few pages then it lost connection again.
Please help I tried so many times , I followed many configurations from digital ocean but not succeed.
