Hi All,
I am running a two machine system with load balance on debian 4.0 and apache
2.0 .
I guess I am not a real expert in apache so , my ideas are limited .
both machines have 4 cores and 4 GB ram (php apps) .
What makes it more complex that we have many virtual hosts the apache config
file is about 80 KB (almost one single file with all hosts and aliases) .
What I see that when apache starts the memory starts to load up to 2,8 G see
config below . and then processor goes back and forth .
But even a single html file of 2Kb takes up to *5 seconds ! !* Firebug shows
that connection time is about 4 sec (this is when its waiting for a slot ?
) .
I keep seeing in the log that I need to increase maxclients but if I do so
the memory consumption goes over the limit and we start to swap .
What tools should I use to better understand the problem and trace down this
issue?
Any ideas are welcome !
cheers,
Peter
