If you have root access you can look in /var/log and this might show up
stuff in messages or syslog...
Sometimes Apache can leak little bits of memory with each request -
along with other processes.
You could also write a simple cron job which does something like:
echo `date` `cat /proc/meminfo | grep Free | grep kB | cut -d : -f 2 |
xargs` >> ~/mem-free
which will give you a log file like:
Sat Dec 27 17:01:01 GMT 2014 80908 kB 3549440 kB
Sat Dec 27 17:02:01 GMT 2014 79760 kB 3549516 kB
and so you can check that the two numbers (mem free + swap free) are not
both getting towards 0...

Hi James,
well, no, traffic hasn't been very intense, and the machines only task
is to be a server, the number of accesses
(at least in logg) is quite limited, some hundred at maximum, is there
a way to check "post-mortem" ?

Hi, have for a bit of time had trouble with my server PC running
Fedora Os and Apache.
After some time it goes into non-communicatable mode, does not
take any input whatsover,
hard shutdown is only way to get out. It can be 24hours and it
can be 14days of running before this happes.
While if the httpd is not active the machine has no issues.
So where do I look to find answers; short look in access_log for
servere does not give any specific clues to what
happens, possibly because the "hard takedown" of the machine the
file is not closed properly ?
Have you checked top regularly to see if you are running the
machine out of memory.
Any suggestions ?
