Hello, I'm currently using Apache 2.2 under Debian Etch, with FastCGI/Suexec and Php5.2 (all of these softwares have been installed as Debian paquets, using aptitude).
The server is a Pentium 4 (3 Ghz) with 2 Gb of RAM. It serves a lot of requests (about 30 to 35 per second, mainly weblogs and forums). This server is only used to run Apache and Proftpd. I recently switched from Apache 1.3 to Apache 2.2, from php4 to php5 and from Debian Sarge to Debian Etch (from scratch). Since this major update I am running into memory consumption problems with Apache 2 : CPU load is correct, however memory consumption is really high : some Apache 2 processes can take up to 10 % of total RAM, which is more or less equal to 200 Mb : 15641 www-data 20 0 31416 16m 864 S 1 0.8 1:32.64apache2 3673 www-data 20 0 422m 114m 2416 S 0 5.7 0:10.87apache2 4364 www-data 20 0 408m 107m 3076 S 0 5.3 0:10.12apache2 5771 www-data 20 0 599m 207m 2028 S 0 10.3 0:20.58apache2 Here is the result of the "free" command : ------------------------------------- total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2070444 1979116 91328 0 111444 1012000 -/+ buffers/cache: 855672 1214772 Swap: 923696 0 923696 I monitored the used memory (which is given by "-/+ buffers/cache") and sometimes I noticed peaks to 1.6 Gb (which is really high); it wasn't the case before the update, with the same traffic load.
