Re: Apache 2.2.3 Memory Usage

I dont know if youre on Windows, but i had to give up mod_perl on 

windows because of excessive memory usage (probably some leak). the 

machine used to slow down to a crawl after a day of apache running 

continuously. if you want to use perl but without mod_perl you could 

just do it like apache calls any script in cgi-bin.

Even 60mb of RAM is on the absurd side, except for very specific
cases.  You should keep removing modules until you get down to
something in the low double digits.

As far as mod_perl goes, I'm not an expert.  Obviously there is too
much stuff getting loaded at startup.  You should ask over on the
mod_perl list, or in a support forum for WebGUI.

Hi I use apache 1.3 as well as 2.2.3 so this is off topic since this
is for 2.2.3 but I have just noticed my processes use in excess of
100meg per child, I run eaccelerator which I know accounts for some of
this 32meg so this would leave around 80 meg per process without
eacellerator, I always thought this was normal and would explain why
on a box with 2 gig of ram I cant get anywhere near the amount of
child processes others reach without using swap.
