Hi, I seem to have done something very wrong with my Apache configuration, but can't figure out what it is. Essentially, each time I launch my website and start to get traffic, I almost immediately run out of RAM. Typing "ps faux" gives me the following snippet, where I have around 20 processes started by user www-data: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND [...] root 5065 0.0 1.9 156952 9976 ? Ss 06:26 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 5069 0.0 4.8 223908 25388 ? S 06:26 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start [Around 20 more of these...] www-data 5164 0.1 4.7 223332 24876 ? S 06:41 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start www-data 5168 0.0 1.1 156952 6232 ? S 06:42 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start Any clues about what could be happening here? My 000-default configuration file (I'm on Ubuntu) just contains a bunch of VirtualHost and Location directives. I'm happy to provide any information that might be useful for diagnosing this.
