Hi everybody,I'm using Apache 2.0.55 with Prefork MPM on Linux 2.6.x. Yesterday I experienced really bad things. Apache forked many proceses and consumed all of my memory (2GB) and swaps (2GB). The result was, that I had to restart the server (load > 60).
The bigest problem is, that I'm not able to recognize, what was the reason. Is there any possible DOS with such result?Is there any way, how to prevent Apache (or in general a proces) from consuming all of the memory. For example set Linux not to allow it to consume more than 1.5 GB of memory.
Many thanks. Regards Tony --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
