Hi! I need help. Apache2 fills my memory and my swap , then the system is broken. Server version: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian), the system is up to date. I change apache2 version , but isnt help. I have 8GB memory and 8GB swap. If the swap is to big, i restarted the apache service and this solve the problem temporarily. A lite later the memory and swap usage again grow. I write a script, is wathcing the swap size, and if is bigger 6GB , restarted the apache2 service. But this isnt solved the problem, what fills my memory and my swap?? How can i find it? I dont find any intresting in the logs. Maybe something else is wrong, i have php4 and php5.

I think you should check all your web applications. Maybe some of them have memory holes. You can also optimize apache as follows: http://www.howtoforge.com/configuring_apache_for_maximum_performance
