Is it normal when running "top" from the command line to see the processes on ALL virtual servers? The reason I ask is that I have multiple services of mysqld as well as other services that appear when running top.
If you are referring to the host system and are using OpenVZ/Virtuozzo or any other container virtualization technique (like LXC), then yes.
Thanks Falko... On my base system I have installed 5 virtual containers on Squeeze using OpenVZ. One my web container I have nearly completed the installation of the web container. For some reason there are 5 apache2 processes running under top. When killing them, they respawn. Do you believe there is a problem with this virtual container? Should there be 5 apache2 processes running? I used the howto document here to install the web container: http://www.howtoforge.com/multiserv...se-servers-on-debian-squeeze-with-ispconfig-3 Thank you for your time! Darin
Please check the apache configuration (/etc/apache2/apache2.conf) - especially the StartServers, MinSpareServers, and MaxSpareServers settings.
Hi Falko, Here are the lines from my web server that runs under OpenVZ: <IfModule mpm_prefork_module> StartServers 5 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 10 MaxClients 150 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 </IfModule> I believe there is going to be a similar problem with mysqld when I'm finished configuring the server...
