Hi

can i install Directadmin on a vps with 128MB ram?
and how can i compile gcc and g++ without yum? but i can't use yum on a 128MB vps, only 256+.

Regards
 
You can't becacause gcc is the compiler.

You should upgrade your ram
 
but i see on directadmin.com that min. 128mb is required?

can it not on 128MB are u sure?

it's no problem that it works on low speed.
 
I'm not sure if 128mb is enough to run DirectAdmin and the required software. I do know that if you can't install yum you can still install gcc. You have to compile it on a different machine and then move it to your VPS.

Before you try, remember that I didn't say it would be easy. I didn't say it was doable by an inexperienced Systems Administrator. And I didn't say you could do it without a second machine, with enough memory, and with the same library versions.

YUM uses RPM-packages. If RPM does work, find the right package and install it with rpm -Uhv packagename-version.rpm.
But 128 Mb won't be a pleasure.

Well, I have three DA servers running now. The latest one has 2 GB, the oldest one 1 GB and my backup server has 512 MB. The backup one is running just as well as the two others and I think it would run dozens of low-traffic sites.

Code: 
$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        524464     492688      31776          0     157768     200268
-/+ buffers/cache:     134652     389812
Swap:       524280         28     524252
Please note that there is still 350+ MB free memory (buffers/cache). I presume that one can run a low-traffic VPS with a 256MB server but not much less - if the web applications / CMS / databases/ others are lightweight.

I am running DA on Gentoo and it's usign with all services, over 80Mb. Not using Apache, it's a memory sucker :)
