hi,
for the past 2 weeks I am having memory problems with a server. I restart
apache, and within a few minutes top shows all RAM and all swap used. The
server becomes almost unresponsive until apache is restarted. Can you give
some tips on how to find out which particular site is creating this problem?
There are about 20 django sites, around 20 wikis and 2 php sites.
How much RAM do you have on your machine and how much Swap ( output of
$cat /proc/meminfo will help ) . Have you made any changes after which
you are facing this issue ? You can even check the 'slabtop' output to
see if there is a particular slab cache which is constantly increasing
and the memory is not being reclaimed ( THere might be a memory leak )
.
Cheers
