srcds out of memory error

[blissend]

I guess this is a shot in the dark. When I run srcds as root (I know I shouldn't but this was for testing purposes) everything is fine. When I run it as the user I installed it under it gives me...

CMDLCache:: Out of memoryCMDLCache:: Out of memory

Is there some sort of generic memory limitation on linux users? I'm using CentOS v5.

i have my user(and group) number 500, and game-run user(and group) 501. i know higher or lower groups have special permissions.
default config should not trick u, but otherway check
/etc/security/limits.conf

You are dead right about the ulimits in limits.conf. However, I have cpanel and limits.conf won't work. Instead I have to edit files...

/etc/profile
/etc/bashrc
/etc/profile.d/limits.sh

Code:

if [ "$LIMITUSER" == "root" ]; then
        ulimit -n 4096 -u 14335 -m unlimited -d unlimited -s 8192 -c 1000000 -v unlimited 2>/dev/null
elif [ "$LIMITUSER" == "someRootLikeUser" ]; then
        ulimit -n 4096 -u 14335 -m unlimited -d unlimited -s 8192 -c 1000000 -v unlimited 2>/dev/null
else
        ulimit -n 100 -u 20 -m 200000 -d 200000 -s 8192 -c 200000 -v 200000 2>/dev/null
fi

Granted, you shouldn't be running web servers on your game server machine unless you have a powerful enough machine to do so.

I get this same error but as root. How much memory does the server software need?

I think the "else" section matches the user you've got.

Here are the rules I've got on my user running CS:S server.

Code:

ulimit -a
core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
max nice                        (-e) 0
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals                 (-i) unlimited
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                      (-n) 1024
pipe size            (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues     (bytes, -q) unlimited
max rt priority                 (-r) 0
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time               (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes              (-u) unlimited
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks                      (-x) unlimited

My guess is "-v unlimited" solves your problem, but making all the other stuff match my setup should make it OK.

Running web server on a game server doesn't matter.
