Apache on our main server was last restarted Oct. 7 of last year. It hosts a large LAMP application, and doesn't use over 128MB (the db is on a separate box). We have another machine, that serves an older product that 'just runs', where apache hasn't been restarted since June of last year--that box has over 400 days of uptime. It hosts a java/mysql application with resin and mysql on the same machine. It stays just under 500MB total. For linux, I'd say os_uptime can easily approach infinity for all practical purposes. And, from experience, I'd say apache_on_linux can also approach infinity. > How about on windows? For windows, os_uptime is not predictable. Recent versions have massively improved on this, but there are still corner cases where stability gets a huge shot in the arm. Worse, IMO, these seem to be getting harder to predict. As for apache_on_windows, the apache core itself is very stable. Several developers here run apache on windows and we don't have any complaints. There may be some extensions that have issues that reduce the stability. Perhaps the jboss connector is one of these. > How much memory should apache be using if it's only serving images and passing everything else off to jboss? I admin that I am not very familiar with jboss, but I should think hardly any. If it's caching the static data then it will use enough for the cached content, but I wouldn't think a connection to jboss should consume an inordinate amount of resources. If connections are lingering, then yes, some resources may be leaking and require a restart. A 'graceful' restart should clean that up for you though. -- Respectfully, Nicholas Leippe Sales Team Automation, LLC 1335 West 1650 North, Suite C Springville, UT 84663 +1 801.853.4090 http://www.salesteamautomation.com /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
