Ok we run a few apache servers and we are having a odd problem out of one of the servers. It will kill apache and when you go to restart it will fail well, the only way to fix this is to do ulimit -n 600000 and then start aapche it will run for a while then boom do it again. Now tonight I installed monit and finally got a error out of the server. Total mem amount of 518600kb matches resource limit [total mem ammount > 512001 KB] Now this server has a lot of power ill cat some things for yall. [root@clients etc]# cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 4038036 kB MemFree: 17836 kB Buffers: 12116 kB Cached: 3718840 kB SwapCached: 0 kB Active: 191424 kB Inactive: 3702240 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 4038036 kB LowFree: 17836 kB SwapTotal: 1052248 kB SwapFree: 1052024 kB Dirty: 3332 kB Writeback: 0 kB Mapped: 187564 kB Slab: 97456 kB CommitLimit: 3071264 kB Committed_AS: 997148 kB PageTables: 9944 kB VmallocTotal: 536870911 kB VmallocUsed: 263412 kB VmallocChunk: 536607347 kB HugePages_Total: 0 HugePages_Free: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB And Mem: 4038036k total, 4021552k used, 16484k free, 12224k buffers Swap: 1052248k total, 224k used, 1052024k free, 3720160k cached [root@clients etc]# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 4038036 4020656 17380 0 12012 3719896 -/+ buffers/cache: 288748 3749288 Swap: 1052248 224 1052024 [root@clients etc]# Any help would be greatly thankfull.
