Our apache server is utilizing the CPU to almost a 100% with 45 httpd process opened. What sort of tuning could be done to help this situation.
The Apache server is using Moodle, PHP, and Mysql. The Apache server is on a dedicated V440 with 4 processors and 16 gb of memory. The Mysql database is on a different system identical to the one explained, so it's not like its on a system that can handle Apache I think it's an Apache tuning issue, but I'm not sure where to start. I thought about raising the number of startup server process.
