Post Diluvian

I have my wikid server running as a virtual machine under ESXi. I have had a few problems with the Wikid services not starting up automatically when the system starts, however if I logged into the box via ssh and manually stopped and started the wikid services it would start up fine.

Eventually I started to wonder if the resources I had allocated the vm were sufficient and sure enough they weren’t. I rebooted the machine and observed it’s startup log and when it got to starting the wAuth and Radius protocol daemons it would say something like ‘could not connect to database’

To fix this issue I gave the system more memory; from 1GB to 1.5GB and gave it a healthier CPU max from 2000mhz to 3000mhz and most importantly (imho) changed the Disk Shares value to ‘High’.

After this my wikid server would reboot and be ready to serve without any problems. Hope this helps !
