I switched to mpm-worker, and I no longer have the above memory problem. Does anyone have both the worker mpm and phpmyadmin installed on Ubuntu? When I run "apt-get install phpmyadmin", it tries to remove apache2-mpm-worker and install apache2-mpm-prefork. I'm trying to figure out if there is a workaround for this (I also asked on a phpmyadmin forum but haven't heard back yet.)
