Hi, I have the above mentioned setup with a few sites with drupal and smf running. Now when i check top on the console i see a lot of apache processes running which seem to be running already for a long time. PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 7011 www-data 15 0 38288 20m 4608 S 11 1.0 2:53.87 apache2 7018 www-data 16 0 35896 18m 4940 S 11 0.9 2:45.14 apache2 7010 www-data 15 0 35872 18m 4944 S 10 0.9 2:53.81 apache2 4122 www-data 15 0 45992 27m 4704 S 10 1.4 3:28.41 apache2 4125 www-data 16 0 38292 20m 4712 R 10 1.0 3:33.59 apache2 4124 www-data 15 0 45984 27m 4288 S 6 1.4 3:27.30 apache2 17262 www-data 15 0 46000 27m 4784 S 5 1.4 8:14.10 apache2 9317 www-data 16 0 35776 16m 3736 S 5 0.8 2:18.41 apache2 3669 www-data 15 0 38344 20m 4760 S 5 1.0 3:42.36 apache2 7014 www-data 16 0 35892 17m 4712 S 5 0.9 2:49.43 apache2 Is this normal behavior, or is something going on here? Thx, gzero
This is normal if you have lots of connections. You can try to modify your Apache configuration: http://www.howtoforge.com/configuring_apache_for_maximum_performance
