Dear experts, I've been working through a process of upgrading our SUN web servers from PHP4 to PHP5. An interesting thing happened when I did our Internet web server this morning. Typically, the number of HTTP processes running during business hours is about 20 - 40. However, upon installing PHP5 and changing the apache conf to load the new PHP5 module, increased the number of processes to 100 - 130. Consequently consuming more memory and swap. PHP pages have marginally changed, but not significantly in structure. Has anyone ever seen any activity like this?? It seems that it has something to do with the new PHP5 library being loaded, as number of processes increases pretty well straight away after restart of APACHE. ENV: apache 1.3 on Sparc Solaris 8. Relevent bits from httpd.conf: Timeout 300 KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 KeepAliveTimeout 15 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 10 StartServers 5 MaxClients 150 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 Any help gratefully accepted :-).
