Re: [VuFind-General] VuFind2 on AWS

Hi Demian,

Thanks - I thought it might be a bit optimistic! I'll tinker with the
settings but otherwise I'll go off and "build" a bigger server, as Hugo
suggests.

The default VuFind configuration uses 1GB of RAM for Solr, which is too
much for your micro instance.  However, you can edit vufind.sh and
change the -Xms and -Xmx settings to lower numbers in order to get
things running.  It may be slow, but it should be adequate for testing
purposes.
