Size of the virtual machine / site is not accessible anymore #65

Closed JBX028 closed 6 years ago

JBX028 commented 6 years ago

Hi,

The initial size of the image for the virtual machine is 266Mb but after having doing the wordpress upgrade and installed 4 themes and 4 plugins (woocommerce is the biggest one) the size is now equal to 2GB and the admin page is no longer accessible. I have tried to increase the RAM size up to 1024MB but without success. With ssh I can see that apache and the mysql database are started, I don't see any error when Linux is started but when I click on the button to either open the site or the admin page, nothing happens. I have tried to remove the 2GB VM and replacte it with the initial one (I kept a copy) and the site can start. Am I the only one with this issue? I didn't see anything on the list of issues raised here so far that's why I am opening this issue. My config is a windows 8 PC with 4GB and nothing else is started when I run instant wordpress.

Thanks in advance for your help

Regards

Well I think to understand what's going on. Basically what I just did is to run InstantWP and then wait an hour before press the button to open the WP admin and now it's ok. Above saying the fact that the VM has grow, has a side effect regarding the performances. I am going to close the issue and will try to figure out the exact duration I have to wait.
