@hostatom How much RAM does your VM have and do you have any swap partition created?

The error seems to not be because of low memory.

Can you post the output of which crontab?

Thank you very much for your help

I have run on 2GB Ram VPS
but the problem occur because of crontab

There is no crontab install in Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64 Minimal from openvz template

root@erp:~# which crontab
root@erp:~# cd /
root@erp:/# which crontab
root@erp:/#


root@erp:/# ps -ef | grep cron
root      2873  1751  0 20:56 pts/1    00:00:00 grep --color=auto cron

After I have install the crontab

sudo apt-get install cron

And hit the easy installation command again everything work great now

Thank you very very much
