Hi guys I have a quick question and would appericiate if you can help me. I am using iplanet 5.1 and have populated an ou with about 80,000 records. i am trying performance testing by connecting a simple web aplication to the ldap directory server and running a test script. The script basically queries ldap for searches.
The problem is that 6 hrs after starting the test, my machine runs out of memory and ldap crashes it self. I looked at the windows performance monitor and can easily see that as we call ldap operations, the total available system memory keeps going down where as the "total bytes" on slapd keeps going up. From the iplanet logs, i can gather the following informaion at the time of crash: housecleaning PR_CreeateThread failed malloc of 4604 bytes failed;errno 0 The server has probably allocated all its virtual memory. To solve this problem, make more virtual memory availabe to your server, or reduce the size of the server's 'maximum enteries in cache'(cachsize) or 'maximum DB cache size' (dbcachesize) parameters. cant't recoverlcalling exit(1) I have already tried playing around with db cache and max enteries in cache but still the processes eat up all the memory. I cant find anything on the net which explains this. If you guys can help me out, i will be extremely relieved and obliged. thnxx Regards Umar Tanwir
