GD library + RAM issues

Nine

[FONT=Verdana]I run a moderately popular website that provides PHP generated graphics. On our dedicated server with 2GB of RAM, we manage to crash more than once a day. I fear there is something I need to do about the RAM issue. I use imageDestroy() at the end and unlink() all unused graphics. Does anybody know what the problem may be? Maybe you've had and solved this problem in the past?

Thank You,

Did you say your Server has 2MB of RAM ? :bemused:
What OS is your server running on

[FONT=Verdana]Linux. And it was meant to say 2GB, sorry. My main concern is that for the traffic we currently recieve, the server would run smoothly without the GD part, so I have a pretty good idea the GD is what's causing the trouble . . .

I know GD will share its memory limit with PHP instead of being a seperate process and to boot, GD is a memory hog.

Have you made any changes to the settings in php.ini ?
What is the PHP memory limit set to ?
