Topic: apache running many processes

[andrewrimmer]

I saw that apache is running many processes.
Is this normal? Each one is using 8M

Your question is answered here.

It's better if you don't cross-post questions in several forums at the same time.

Oops, I'm sorry.

I didn't realise they would be connected.

I'm new but learning, I'll be more careful.


Thanks
