hound1 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 When running the 'top' command I can see the httpd process is running at 90% of the CPU usage, and the web site stop responding via the browser. I have to restart httpd and the site will stay online for about 6 hours, then I have to reload httpd. We have also installed about 15-20 user contributions you're site. The site is not getting a high amount of traffic, yesterday we only processes 17 orders. I am running OSC osCommerce 2.2-MS2 using the following set-up: HTTP Server: Apache/2.0.40 (Red Hat 9 Linux) PHP Version: 4.2.2 (Zend: 1.2.0) Database: MySQL 3.23.54 Linux 2.4.20-6 The hardware is only a 750Mhz processor, with 750MB of RAM.

1quicksi Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Can you please post the top portion of the "top" command so we can see avalable and used cache. Also how many apache servers are set to spawn and how many concurrent connections do you allow? knowledge base | Contributions | Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little.pm Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 go and upgrade your machines RAM (as much as possible, eg. 2GB) edit php.ini and modify the line memory_limit = 8M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB) Adjust the value as needed, eg. increase it to 10 or 12 or even 16M. If all that fails ask your ISP to give you more bandwith , eg. Mbit/s or even 2MBit/s(they usually throttle it down to 256KBit/sec up to 1024Kbit/sec if they are generous) but that will increase your price for traffic dramatically. regards ralf sometimes I change code before reading the comments, sometimes code doesn't even have comments, sometimes I rechange code after I read the code others wrote :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
