Hello there,
I'm currently developing a few web based applications using
Apache, mod_perl, Perl 5 and the Postgres relational database. This
applications are running on an Intel Linux 2.0.38 machine, with 32Mb
memory.
Now I know I'm dealing with limited resources here, but for the
moment this is what I am playing with :(
Looking at the output from 'top' I see that each of my 3 mod_perl
enabled http servers are reporting between 25 and 30% memory usage. To
cut down on this, I turned to the performance tuning guide and the user
guide from perl.apache.org. As suggested, I tried preloading some modules
in a 'startup.pl' file called from httpd.conf on server startup.
However, this has had little effect it would seem, with the
processes still using the same amount of memory.
Is there any advice that people could give to me as to where to
look now? Has anyone else had what appears to be excessive memory usage
and managed to tune the server?
A colleague is suggesting that PHP would be leaner on the server,
but I am relunctant to move away from my Perl code and hence am trying to
track possible issues down.
Thanks for your time,
