Hi, I had a website in php/mysql and I migrate it to rails/postgres I choosed elasticsearch as it was easy to install and plug with rails. I was testing before putting online, and everythings seemed to be fine, so I changed php version by rails, and now my website is not available because elasticsearch take too much resources. So I had to disabled search on my site, and now it is very quick. Im really not expert neitheir in rails nor in elasticsearch (neither english ๐Ÿ˜‰ ). I just read and followed some tutorials how to manage between rails and elasticsearch. And as I said, it seems to works fine. Just performances are bad. So I think maybe I didnt configure well elasticsearch, actually I didnt configure it as all. I read a lot about it, but I cant understand what to do โ˜น It is a free classified website, available in multiple language (georgian, english, french and russian). I have around 300 000 classified I have around 200 000 pages views per day + all page crowled but google bot and other cant it also be because of georgian or russian alphabet (แƒ’แƒแƒœแƒชแƒฎแƒแƒ“แƒ”แƒ‘แƒ”แƒ‘แƒ˜) ? Is it necessary to have elasticsearch on other server ? here my server config 12 coeurs 24 threads @2.5 GHz, cache L3 15M, x64, VT 64 Go DDR3 ECC 3x 450 Go SAS 15k Thanks for your help -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Read this: [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/setup/installation/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/setup/installation/) Set heap size to 8gb for example (Max 30gb) Have a look at elasticsearch logs as well. It should give you clues on what is happening. ## HTH David ๐Ÿ˜‰ Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 3 juin 2013 ร  23:12, [s.delcour@gmail.com](mailto:s.delcour@gmail.com) a รฉcrit : Hi, I had a website in php/mysql and I migrate it to rails/postgres I choosed elasticsearch as it was easy to install and plug with rails.
