Good evening.
I have a strange problem. I am using Linux Debian Squeeze and Apache (latest update). It all worked fine. But tonight, it started to spam processes. Up to 26. But there is _no_ network traffic. The VServer is not that strong, so it's CPU load goes directly to 100%. And websites load really slow.
Before, I never had problems, even when there were lots of people on my sites simultaneously. I did not change anything about the server config or my websites.
I am using nload and htop to live-monitor the processes, CPU load and network traffic.
Apache is configured to use 400MB Ram as upper limit (with 512MB Ram garantueed and 512MB Ram shared). I reduced many things so that Apache would work no matter what on this small server.
In short:
- why is the CPU load, that high?
- do I have to upgrade my server (I hope not)?
- could there be a missconfigure that shows itself?
If I have to supply more info, just tell me what you need. Thank you for your help! |

Which MPM do you use? It would help, if you could post the mpm config.
Did you enable the server-status page to monitor the requests? |

I am using prefork.
The config is here:
| Code: | <IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
MaxClients 150
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule> |
No, I did not enable the server-status page. But I will do so now.
EDIT: thanks for your hint! I think I found the error. Someone made a board which is spammed to death. I will disable it and see, if there will still be problems. |
