Hi, What my observation is, intialy the memory consumption is increased but after sometime it remains same.Also the memory consumption by the active daemon doesn't comes down even there is no processing of request.All the above things happen only when I keep the MaxRequestperchild to 0.
My next question is I hve kept the ServerLimit and StartServers as 1 but once the Apache runs for say around 20hrs with good traffic, it still launches one more daemon process...Why this behavior is happening I am not sure. The modules that I have loaded are the cgi module, server-status module and mod_authz_host module.Does this have any impact one the above behaviors? Thanks in advance.

I don't believe there are any known memory leaks in apache httpd. But it wouldn't be unusual for memory usage to increase somewhat over time since some requests require more memory than others and it is usually impossible to return memory to the OS. It shouldn't continue to rise indefinitely. Memory leaks might be present in some module that you using with apache. You can, of course, recycle processes occasionally by setting MaxRequestsPerChild to some not-too-small number. Other than that, I'm not sure what question you are really asking.
