Hi All, I've converted my site to mod_perl and everything seems great..
Sometimes it will run for days without an issue and other times the machine will die, normally because of out of memory problems. My question is, should I be doing anything to worry about memory? I mean I would think when there was only X amount of memory left then Apache would know what to do and not use everything that is left (plus some). Maybe I'm doing something else wrong, I'm not sure.. I don't have the machine local to me, but during normal traffic I've seen the memory go down at little as 5 meg and then come back on my SSH connection (normally it would flux between 5-10 meg free up to 100 meg free, there is 1 gig on the box). I know this isn't a lot of info, but I'm not positive what I should even be looking for, I believe mod_perl is all setup correctly, I'm not getting any strange errors from my scripts or in the error_log. We currently have 2 machines setup, one is RH 8 with Apache and mod_perl 2.0 and the other is RH 7.3 with Apache and mod_perl 1.3, both seem to have the same problem although the 2.0 machine seems to have the problem more often. Both at P4's with 1 gig of ram. Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thanks -Chris
