Hi, Looking for help on why my Apache process's memory continues to grow until it uses up all avaliable memory when using AB to make simple http static page request. See details below but I have setup Apache to use http keep alives and am reusing the connections. Httpd memory reported by ps aux: %MEM VSZ RSS Start: apache1 74459 0.0 0.0 186156 4708 ? Sl 17:16 0:00 /home/httpbld/bin/httpd -k start -f /home/httpbld/conf/httpd.conf AB 5min:apache1 74041 354 0.9 4511532 2445212 ? Sl 17:03 41:14 /home/httpbld/bin/httpd -k start -f /home/httpbld/conf/httpd.conf To have the RSS memory grow to over 2GB seem excessive. Please let me know if this is a known issues. Thanks, Dean...
