As Jerry did not specify which content his apache is serving, I used
12MB of RAM per apache process (as a general rule of thumb). But if it's
dynamic content generated by a scripting language like php it could be a
lot more. But I think 80-100MB of RAM with php in the back should be a
good guess.
Important thing is:
MaxClients x memory footprint per apache process < available memory :-)
If you have lots of concurrent requests you may be better suited with
something lighter.... like lighttpd. Or start caching of some sort, like
Michael does.
Thank you for all tips&tweaks. My apache is serving mostly dynamic
content (drupal cms), and single apache process has ~35-40MB RES
It is on VPS, with 1GB/2GB soft/hard RAM limits, only apache & mysql
running. Mysqld needs ~100-200MB, and caching is covered by apc.
I reduced maxclients down to 40, it should never run out of memory.
BTW, how's that someone has apache process 10-20MB, and me 40MB?
I'd like to reduce its size, but do not know how...
