corbin Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Well, I run Apache 2.2.4 and PHP 5.2.2 on one of my computers (2.2GHZ AMD 3500+ Processor, 1.5GB RAM), and the other day the computer was going soooo slow, so I looked at task manager, and was extremely surprised to see httpd.exe taking 1GB of RAM and using 2.5GB of my page file.... I checked the access log, and, just as I was expecting, only I have been accessing it, and it's not being attacked or anything, so I'm wondering, what could be causing it to use that much resources when it gets a hit about every 20 minutes? Also, when I first start Apache, I can watch the memory grow.... It'll start at around 16MB and then slowly grow to the numbers mentioned earlier. I've been running a lot of text manipulation PHP scripts, which sometimes handle 6-8MB files, but I run those maybe once every ten minutes, and Apache/PHP should be releasing those resources as soon as it runs.... Any help would be much appreciated, since I have no clue >.<. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53459-apache-sucking-up-ram/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Apache will try and cache as much RAM as it can get its hands on. What you need to do is to configure apache to use few resources and only a few workers. Take a read of http://www.howtoforge.com/configuring_apache_for_maximum_performance to see where you can configure apache better. -steve Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53459-apache-sucking-up-ram/#findComment-264858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
