Re: [users@httpd] Memory leak on Windows 2003

[Marcos R. Cardoso]

Thanks for the help Joshua, but I forgot to add that we use some ASP scripts here using Sun Chili!Soft ASP 3.6.2 Could the ASP machine also make this memory inflation possible to happen? Marcos R.

The solution I've found so far is to schedule restarts for the Apache service every 8 hours, but I'd like to know if there is a proper solution for this behaviour. The most likely explanation is a misbehaving php script. But to debug, you really need to work out what requests are triggering the ballooning memory requirements. I'm not very familiar with debugging this type of problem for win32, but if you can track threadid and memory over time, then you can add the thread id to the access.log and try to figure out what requests trigger the memory problems. You can also try setting MaxRequestsPerChild to a high but not infinite number to trigger automatic restarts that should clear things out.
