We are currently
experiencing some problems with our mod_perl setup the server we are using is a
Dual Xeon 2.4Ghz running Redhat AS 2.1, 4GB Ram , Apache/1.3.27 (Unix)
mod_perl/1.27. When the server is under a heavy load it all of a
sudden consumes a large amount of swap and the server load shoots through the
roof, the machine normally sits quite happily not even touching the swap
normally however it seems to consume anything up to 3GB of swap all in one go.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue or why it happens
?
Thanks
Mike
