Help Reducing High Memory Usage
I have a dual 2.4 Xeon with 2 GB ECC memory on a dedicated server and the memory keeps getting used up. Currenly I run www.oilfight.com which is mysql intensive (pconnect enabled) and www.backfox.com and www.atunnel.com which are proxies which are cgi proxies using perl (I enabled mod_perl on them). During peak and semi-peak times the server goes out of memory in 10-30 minutes and swap starts piling up until the server just gets too slow.
I have configured the server the best i can with my knowledge but to be honest my knowledge is all internet learned by reading tutorials that usually aren't very helpful in my situation.
Here is a copy of whats important on my httpd.conf file. Is there anything I can remove/add/change to reduce memory usage or make processes close faster. Thanks.
