RE: Apache memory hog

Ok,

So I've switched to the collab.net version of the subversion package. This includes a 2.2.8 version of apache.  They also only include 3 modules I their config (python_module, dav_svn_module, authz_svn_module).   This seems to be enough to get SSL and LDAP lookups working for me.

After around 30mins of running, memory footprint is:

22876 csvn      15   0  119m  17m 3492 S  0.0  0.1   0:02.21 httpd
22875 csvn      15   0  114m  12m 3564 S  0.0  0.1   0:01.08 httpd
22874 csvn      15   0  112m  11m 3588 S  0.0  0.1   0:00.79 httpd
23041 csvn      15   0  113m  10m 3052 S  0.0  0.1   0:02.32 httpd
22886 csvn      15   0  113m  10m 3544 S  0.0  0.1   0:00.77 httpd
23043 csvn      15   0  113m  10m 2976 S  0.0  0.1   0:00.51 httpd
22873 csvn      15   0  111m 9.9m 3588 S  0.0  0.1   0:01.03 httpd
22877 csvn      15   0  111m 9.9m 3548 S  0.0  0.1   0:00.44 httpd
22885 csvn      15   0  109m 8368 3444 S  0.0  0.1   0:00.44 httpd
23042 csvn      15   0  109m 8088 3464 S  0.0  0.1   0:00.23 httpd
22872 csvn      18   0 53780 2720 1004 S  0.0  0.0   0:00.00 httpd

So each httpd process started with approx 3-5Mb each, and have grown to say 17Mb.  Certainly better than my previous setup.

I'll monitor over the next week and see if it stays at that level.

Thanks guys for the help so far...

Lets just pretend for a moment that I don't know much about Apache, pthreads or pre-forks in any specific detail... how would I find out what threading model is being used?  Ulimit does return 10240 on the command line.  Should I put the ulimit -s 2048 into the init.d script for httpd ?

As a side project, I'm trying to get my basic SSL and LDAP config working in Collab.nets version of subversion, which includes an apache binary custom for them I believe. I think I almost have that working, so I plan to switch the system over to that, and see if the problem still occurs.  If it does, then I may have an official support route to follow.

The wasted stack space doesn't shows up as a high VSZ, but not RSS.
