This is really annoying me, I have spent all weekend and alot of money on a nice VPS trying to get this working!

Edit: top shows me that I have plenty of memory remaining, I am not running anything else along side the CS: S server.

Thanks,

Tom

Please reply! I have been working on this for ages but cannot figure out how to fix it.

Thanks

I've only seen that error occur when a VPS account has gone over its memory limit.

You may want to check with the people hosting the VPS and see what's going on, if top is showing enough free memory.

I contacted them and they said top is actually the memory of the server not my VPS and told me to try this:

But I don't see why it should do over its memory limit because I don't have anything else running!

Whether you have anything else running or not, if SRCDS attempts to take too much it'll error out.

I'm not sure how to read that table. I'm pretty unexperienced with VPSs. I had one or two and moved to dedicated servers.

VPSs are really not made to run demanding processes, like SRCDS. They are only designed to run small processes that don't need a whole dedicated server to run smoothly.

Yes, but the error says it cant allocate 2MB of memory! I am 150% sure I have more than 2MB of memory free ^_^

Edit: It also managed to run a CS 1.6 server OK.

Ok the people over at steam user forums sorted out the problem for me by telling me to add -pid srcds.pid to the start command. But now all I get is Out of memory, but nothing is running!
