Hi to all !
well another strange problem concering Apache performance and EasyPHP:
Having Moodle 1.5.4 on a double Opteron (2-double XeoN) with 4G RAM...
Our system started to work fine. But suddenly one day I couldn't connect to Moodle PHP pages. After entering the URL, the page was blank and the IE was trying to connect. I'm checking the server but was UP and running, easyPHP was UP and eveything were OK...
Well I opened Task Manager (Win 2003 Server) and observed that Apache Service instance had over 256M of RAM ! A snapshot of the Task Manager can be seen below (Apache instance has already over 140M).
Every time I was refreshing the central Moodle page, the Apache memory in Task Manager was increasing by 15-20M !! When it reached 264M the server was NOT serving any request and the system got too slow !!
A new observation was that when restarting EasyPHP, Moodle was fine..but when Apache instance reached approx. 263M, Apache was not serving any request... restarting again fixed the problem but for a short time...
Any ideas ? I'm scanning http.conf and php.ini but cannot find something...
Thanx,
Vassilis
