Query on deletion of Request pool
Hi All, I am getting a serious memory issue with my Apache webserver. Initially I was allocating buffer from by using apr_palloc from the request pool assuming the allocated memory is going to be released but not sure what is the problem the memory grows infinitely. I then tried with own malloc and then added a clean up function on apr_pool_cleanup_run.Which on debugging showed the free is being called for the allocated memory but still the behavior is same.On each request there is a increase in memory. Is there any way to release explicitly the memory of the request pool?I tried with apr_pool_cleanup_register and added a clean up function internally I was calling apr_pool_destroy(request_rec-pool).For the first request it worked correctly but on the later there was a crash and restart on the Apache process. It seems I may be doing something silly.Any help would be very much appreciated.BTW my webserver is heavily loaded and it is MPM=Worker Apache version 2.2.8 and OS is Red-Hat 3.0. What are the other possibilities where memory leak can looked into. Looking forward for response. Thanks -A

How are you measuring memory use? Have you tried MaxMemFree? By default, apache won't continuously return this storage to the native heap because it's likely going to be needed again anyway. -- Eric Covener [EMAIL PROTECTED]
