Before jumping ship with everything I have one question: Why is that extra 30-40 megs of RAM usage that big of an impact?  Is it killing performance?  Are you already nearing your limit?  Problems with the host?

Switching to different platforms just for a decrease in RAM is needless I think.  When you start slowing down, crashing, nearing the limit or something else then it would be better to consider alternatives.  Even then though, 512m ram isn't a whole lot and the default setup (apache+mysql) would probably be good up to about 1 or 2 gigs of ram.

Out of curiosity how did you move the mysql date ? dump/restore or file copy of the myisam files ? In the latter case i would consider launching an analysis of the tables through phpmyadmin for instance.
if there any init script associated with mysql ? either in /etc/init or /etc/init.d ?
try downloading rcconf (apt-get install rcconf) and check the services launched at startup, add mysql if needed.

100 megs at boot with lnmp with a few other goodies for security.

i have done quite a bit since i last posted here.

i decided that new vps company was running crap on my vps in the background or something. no matter what i did i could not get it below 100 megs.

slicehost.com, which is now rackspace, is from my experience to be the best vps/cloud spot out there. there might be better, but i have not ran across it. they are a bit more expensive than some, but you get what you pay for with no funny business. and they do have pretty good support.

so i decided to go back to slicehost with nginx web server and php-fpm on a 384 vps, that they dont even offer anymore. it should be fine for a couple thousand hits a day, which i dont get that anyway. lol

thx for the advice.

if anyone wants a good thing to installing lamp or lnmp on a vps go here: http://tuxlite.com/

i do have one issue.

in the changing to nginx from apache2, im getting my webistes back up and going, with one exception.

the packages that i have installed on the forums still show when i uninstall and reinstall the old command line path instead of the new one.

the reason i found this out, is cause some of the packages are not working correctly so i tried to uninstall and reinstall a few packages and they wont install back again due to the address in the package config is wrong.

is there an easy way i can change all that in some kind of setting file or something or do i need to completely reinstall every package from scratch?

I'll second that. The company where I work is a Rackspace Partner and we have done a lot of work for them in helping customers migrate. The Cloud Servers offering is really nice, very stable, and within $10 per month of other major players like Linode. Their VPS (Cloud Server) instances are managed using Xen, last I checked.

Unless the modification itself requires knowing URLs, simply using the reset_settings tool script, or just manually editing Settings.php and fixing the paths and addresses for avatars and attachments should be all you need to do.

If you have PMA installed, you can use it to search the entire database for instances of any string, like the old URL or file path, and can then manually edit the that data or at least know where to go to fix it.
