Hi, I'm using Firebird 2.5 Super server, PHP 5.5 and Apache2 on Ubuntu 14.04
As I start apache server, and the web site gets visits, apache processes start to grow as well as firebird processes ( one per second ), nearly without limit. The memory consumption also increases. After a few seconds my site is unresponsive. If I stop apache, firebird processes don't decrease immediately as expected, but only after a minute they jump from the high quantity (for example 150) to 2 processes. Nevertheless, firebird doesn't release the memory. In my php scripts every ibase_pconnect sentence has it corresponding ibase_close sentence, inside a try statement. Any idea about why apache processes keep alive and also why they don't free firebird processes ? ( I'm in a hurry, because my site is not working ) Thanks in advance for any help. Aldo
