Apache Q?

Unread post by dougthonus »

Is it normal to have tons of copies of httpd and httpds in your process list (ps -A). I checked out my webserver, and it was basically using all available main memory with apache taking almost all of it in 17meg chunks (there's 512 meg on the machine). This seemed odd to me, because I barely have any users on the site (probably never more than about 3-4 people hitting it at anyone time)

Does this have something to do with caching/buffering (though in reality, my entire site including the mysql databse could be cached in like 50 meg or so).

Anyone have any thoughts?

you should have at least 20 or so running when the system is completely idle, and as many as 150 in the default setup.
