Hi @Herve_siyou!

How much RAM does the machine this is running at have? Running out of it is one of the main causes for this error. (“Killed” is the best hint.)

Hello @arbrandes .

The machine is 8Go. Not enough?

Though the instructions say 8GB, I would not consider a native installation with all default services on less than 16. And if you have a decent number of users, at least 32 per app server.

I have the same problem as you. Is the error reported because the memory is too small

6

In my case, changing from 8 to 16Gb fixed the issue.

okay, thank you very much
