Too many sites, change server_names_hash_max_size?

Server NGINX
1

Hello,

My nginx is hosting more than 200 sites. But when I reload it, it said I
need to increase the following size:

server_names_hash_max_size
server_names_hash_bucket_size

So I just increased it to:

server_names_hash_max_size 1024;
server_names_hash_bucket_size 128;

After that, nginx can reload, but my server is always out of memory(4gb
in
my server). So any body know if I change the above variables, will it
affect
the performance of the server?

Thanks.

No, the hash may take up to about 128 * 1024 bytes, i.e., just 128K.
What do you mean by “out of memory” ?

Hey,

I dont think this is because of nginx, linux tends to utilize your RAM
regardless of what your running (may or may not be performance
impacting…)

I recently came a cross the same issue and after much reading it
turned out to be the behavior or the OS and not the application

Hi,

I also don’t think it’s related to nginx itself. I think it’s the
problem of
my wordpress supercache rewrite rule. It seems the rewrite rule is not
working correctly. I am working on that to see what’s problem now.
Thanks
guys!
