Hello, I have an OpenBSD box running default apache server that its sole task is to present data, nothing more, nothing less.
The logic of the applications is handled by an app. layer that never exceeds 40 Mbytes RAM and handles concurently all the connections (tcp based) from apache children while the apache children tend to allocate continously memory without de-allocating it The apache ver is 1.3, from base install running mod_perl highly optimized through startup.pl mechanism, and perl scripts that communicate with app. layer. The processing amount is minimized on the apache server. It listens on localhost and proxied by relayd for ssl acceleration. In two weeks all apache children totalize aprox. 800 MBytes RAM Is there any tweaking variable to tell apache to deallocate memory when is no more needed in the same way the app. layer does ? Thank you in advanced, Bogdan
