Hi there,
I disagree with your assessment of the problem. You haven't provided any information that would clearly indicate to me that there's an issue with Apache performance. I recommend looking at the application and database first. Especially if, for example, things were fine last week but this week there's a resource problem. That would indicate to me that you should examine changes made to the application and database in the interim.
Sorry I can't help more but I think there's more analysis to do before we can make a call on what the problem is much less offer advice on fixing it.
Cheers,
Jeff

Subject: CPU usage
Our apache server is utilizing the CPU to almost a 100% with 45 httpd process opened. What sort of tuning could be done to help this situation.
The Apache server is using Moodle, PHP, and Mysql. The Apache server is on a dedicated V440 with 4 processors and 16 gb of memory. The Mysql database is on a different system identical to the one explained, so it's not like its on a system that can handle Apache
I think it's an Apache tuning issue, but I'm not sure where to start. I thought about raising the number of startup server process.
