Hello all,
I'm running Apache/2.0.54, mod_perl/2.0.1,
Perl/v5.8.7 on FreeBSD 6.0.
Right after starting apache (with preloading the
needed perl modules) the httpd root process is about 40MB.
After several days it has grown to over
100MB.
I'm using Apache2::SizeLimit to kill of httpd
childs that get too large. I'm using this configuration: $Apache2::SizeLimit::MAX_PROCESS_SIZE =
100000;
$Apache2::SizeLimit::MAX_UNSHARED_SIZE =
25000;
The problem here is that when the Apache parent
process gets 100000 KB big, the spawned childs
also are that size, which means that a spawned
child is killed immediately after it served its first request.
The only way to decrease the parent size is to stop
and start apache.
My understanding is that the parent process is not
supposed to serve any requests itself.
It's entire job is to manage the children. So, how
come it is growing, and more importantly, how can
I control it ?
BTW: I have this problem on all our FreeBSD boxes
running different applications.
Is FreeBSD / mod_perl just a bad combo
?
