The server MPM is prefork. I had mod_wsgi in daemon mode I think, with this lines:
WSGIDaemonProcess user_name user=user_name group=user_name WSGIProcessGroup user_name WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/django.wsgi That was at the moment of the first message, but now I have commented out the WSGIDaemonProcess and WSGIProcessGroup directives, and what happens is that the memory fills up until the server crashes, It runs out of RAM and swap and it just dies. But until it crashes it is very responsive. I have tried putting processes=5 threads=1 maximum- requests=200 in the daemon configuration but it doesn't help. On apache I have this configuration KeepAlive Off <IfModule mpm_prefork_module> StartServers 5 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 10 MaxClients 70 MaxRequestsPerChild 150 </IfModule> On nginx I have worker_processes 10; events { worker_connections 4096; use epoll; } location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:8080; proxy_redirect default; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; client_max_body_size 10m; client_body_buffer_size 128k; proxy_connect_timeout 1000; proxy_send_timeout 1000; proxy_read_timeout 1000; proxy_buffer_size 4k; proxy_buffers 4 32k; proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k; proxy_temp_file_write_size 128k; } I only include the bits I think are relevant. The site is kickyoutube.com, you can download any youtube video in several formats by appending kick to the youtube video url. Although at this moment I have disabled the formats that need conversion. I'm using mysql for the database and it is on the same server, but it really doesn't do a lot of queries. I have memcached but I only cache the list of latest videos at the homepage. So it really is the video conversion what takes up all the memory, because when I disable it everything seems normal.
