Description of my issue

Hi All,

I’m trying to install gemserv or my_capsule on my server and I am running into an issue with the installation script. When I try to install either app the script gets stuck on downloading dependencies for gemserv for a long time before eventually erroring out with ‘an error occurred inside the app installation script’.

I had a functioning my_capsule installed on my old server, but since migrating to a new one I am unable to neither restore my old server from the backup nor install gemserv or my_capsule fresh.

This is a new account so I unfortunately can’t upload the full logs, but I’ve included an excerpt from it. Hope this clarifies my issue.

This is usually symptomatic of a process getting killed because the system ran out of RAM

Oh understood, thank you.

I have uninstalled a number of applications that I don’t really use and have attempted to reinstall gemserv again. It’s still doing weird things and not working. Is there any way to work with the RAM I have (2gb) to find a solution?

“not working” can means a billion different things

Do you mean it still doesnt install with the exact same error as previously ?

Hi, sorry for the vagueness. I seemed to have resolved the issue. I didn’t realize I didn’t have any swap memory so I created that then reinstalled gemserv. The application installs successfully now.

Thank you again for your your help.
