Hi, I've got a dedicated server with a few hundred domains on it and I recently noticed that the apache is consuming too much memory. It's not a problem for now but it will soon but it will soon be. I was wondering if anyone could help me reduce the memory used by apache or at least point me to some docs for tuning the web server. Below is an excerpt from the `top`: PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU COMMAND 45816 apache 1 96 0 82456K 69928K select 0:05 1.86% httpd 45607 apache 1 20 0 76732K 64124K lockf 0:07 0.78% httpd 45545 apache 1 20 0 75244K 62656K lockf 0:09 1.51% httpd 45573 apache 1 20 0 73920K 61308K lockf 0:07 0.78% httpd 45829 apache 1 20 0 73920K 61256K lockf 0:03 1.22% httpd 45516 apache 1 20 0 73836K 61244K lockf 0:09 0.54% httpd 45609 apache 1 20 0 73864K 61240K lockf 0:06 1.22% httpd 45610 apache 1 20 0 73656K 61120K lockf 0:05 0.49% httpd 45804 apache 1 96 0 73628K 61096K select 0:05 0.54% httpd 45836 apache 1 20 0 73628K 61048K lockf 0:01 1.12% httpd 30813 root 1 96 0 64372K 51716K select 0:11 0.00% httpd 44633 root 1 4 0 59436K 48040K accept 0:00 0.00% httpd 66060 mysql 6 20 0 54664K 29320K kserel 74:47 0.00% mysqld 45433 psaadm 1 4 0 53680K 23140K accept 0:00 0.00% httpsd 45413 psaadm 1 4 0 54000K 22832K accept 0:00 0.00% httpsd 45505 psaadm 1 4 0 52108K 19192K accept 0:00 0.00% httpsd 45504 psaadm 1 4 0 51852K 18708K accept 0:00 0.00% httpsd 45526 psaadm 1 4 0 51940K 18484K accept 0:00 0.00% httpsd 45566 psaadm 1 4 0 51716K 18288K accept 0:00 0.00% httpsd 717 popuser 1 96 0 22892K 16396K select 0:14 0.00% perl 45508 psaadm 1 4 0 51160K 16176K accept 0:00 0.00% httpsd 45503 psaadm 1 4 0 50840K 14248K accept 0:00 0.00% httpsd 718 popuser 1 96 0 20820K 13348K select 0:01 0.00% perl 392 bind 1 96 0 9940K 7396K select 1:21 0.00% named 45245 root 1 96 0 6424K 3760K select 0:01 0.00% proftpd 45830 root 1 96 0 6164K 3504K select 0:00 0.00% proftpd 45506 psaadm 1 4 0 47608K 3420K accept 0:00 0.00% httpsd 45507 psaadm 1 4 0 47612K 3408K accept 0:00 0.00% httpsd Additionally to that the logs are full of such messages: pid 14073 (httpd), uid 2525: exited on signal 6 pid 14361 (httpd), uid 2525: exited on signal 6 pid 14431 (httpd), uid 2525: exited on signal 6 pid 14898 (httpd), uid 2525: exited on signal 6 pid 20742 (httpd), uid 2525: exited on signal 6 pid 20737 (httpd), uid 2525: exited on signal 6 pid 20959 (httpd), uid 2525: exited on signal 6 pid 21189 (httpd), uid 2525: exited on signal 6 which I think is connected with the memory consumption issue. The system is running on: 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov 3 09:36:13 UTC 2005 root@x64.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Hardware specs are 1GB of RAM and Athlon XP 3800+ dual core. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Alanhome | help
