What does this mean?This means that these processes are reading requests being sent to them. If most of your processes are in reading state, you either have a massive network problem, or somebody is trying to DoS you by opening connections and very slowly sending requests that never actually do get finished, thereby tying up the process/thread. Have a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#timeout to see how you can reduce the time Apache will wait in Reading state. --Eike Thanks - that solved it. Not sure what happened but had a very high load problem. |
