Many mysql processes on vds?

Question

Freelance

There are vds, memory 256 MB. In fact, one site is spinning, which has ~ 400 uniques.
Today I noticed that there is no free memory at all, I stopped webmin, usermin - zero free memory.
Stopped Apache, muscle, bind - full of memory :) Launched - again by zero.
And, most of all, it is mysql that “eats” memory.
The question is: are there too many mysql processes if there are only 2 sites there, dle and wordpress (almost not visited at all)?

Answer 2

do you have phpmyadmin? In my logs they often break into it, and they try different possible options for naming folders with it, maybe they found it and are trying to do something.

Answer 3

And it's not destiny to tune the miscle?
In fact, a normal situation, given that there are only 256M of memory.

Answer 4

Look at my.cnf - how much memory is allocated/reserved for Mysql (especially all *_size parameters). Take the default my-small.cnf. But all this does not negate the fact that the database server with 256 megabytes of memory is a perversion :)

Answer 5

I honestly do not understand the savings effect of matches.
GVA with 512MB of RAM costs ten bucks.
