Hi everyone,
for purely didactive reasons, I wanted to set up and play around ejabberd 16.01 on my GoDaddy CentOS 7.1 web server. I have only 1GB of RAM, which I thought should be more than enough considering there will be 2-3 clients connected for testing. Anyways after almost completing the installation (using RPM) I got an error message without any explanation. I saw all the binary files were in their place so I've tried running the postinstall.sh script, but it fails, with "Failed to create main carrier for ll_alloc".
I do seem to manage to start the service using:
ejabberdctl start
but I cannot call ejabberdctl again to either register clients or stop the service.

In my opinion 1 GB should be enough, considering the fact that running the server takes no more than 400MB.

Are there any minimum hardware requirements to run ejabberd?
Is memory really the issue here or I'm looking at it wrong?
Is there a way to limit the amount of memory or threads of either erl or ejabberd, just to have a basic communication ability (as i mentioned this server is purely for testing)?
here is also a stakoverflow thread I've opened with a little more details:
Thanks.
