Hi everyone, I have a box running CentOS 4.4 as an httpd server. I am running version 2.0.52 of Apache as ditributed by CentOS. It seems to me that httpd is eating up all the memory and thus my machiens eventually runs out of memory and comes to a stand still. Is this true? Has anyone had similar experiences? Here are some kernel log messages Oct 1 07:48:23 charlie kernel: Free pages: 13640kB (0kB HighMem) Oct 1 07:48:23 charlie kernel: Active:10282 inactive:956850 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0 free:3410 slab:9415 mapped:967735 pagetables:23309 Oct 1 07:48:23 charlie kernel: Node 0 DMA free:11528kB min:4kB low:8kB high:12kB active:0kB inactive:0kB present:16384kB pages_scanned:2977 a ll_unreclaimable? yes Oct 1 07:48:23 charlie kernel: protections[]: 0 0 0 Oct 1 07:48:23 charlie kernel: Node 0 Normal free:2112kB min:2160kB low:4320kB high:6480kB active:42928kB inactive:3825600kB present:4702208k B pages_scanned:5985945 all_unreclaimable? yes Oct 1 07:48:23 charlie kernel: protections[]: 0 0 0 Oct 1 07:48:23 charlie kernel: Node 0 HighMem free:0kB min:128kB low:256kB high:384kB active:0kB inactive:0kB present:0kB pages_scanned:0 all _unreclaimable? no Oct 1 07:48:23 charlie kernel: protections[]: 0 0 0 Oct 1 07:48:23 charlie kernel: Node 0 DMA: 0*4kB 1*8kB 0*16kB 2*32kB 3*64kB 0*128kB 2*256kB 1*512kB 0*1024kB 1*2048kB 2*4096kB = 11528kB Oct 1 07:48:28 charlie kernel: Node 0 Normal: 12*4kB 232*8kB 13*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 2112k B Oct 1 07:48:28 charlie kernel: Node 0 HighMem: empty Oct 1 07:48:28 charlie kernel: Swap cache: add 2902771, delete 2902761, find 906274/1018789, race 0+20 Oct 1 07:48:29 charlie kernel: Free swap: 0kB Oct 1 07:48:29 charlie kernel: 1179648 pages of RAM Oct 1 07:49:47 charlie kernel: 168514 reserved pages Oct 1 07:49:47 charlie kernel: 664563 pages shared Oct 1 07:49:47 charlie kernel: 10 pages swap cached Oct 1 07:49:47 charlie kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 1996 (httpd).
