So, I have run into an interesting problem while building out a web server for a client which I haven't come across before and I was hoping that the list would be a good way for me to find the answer.
A little beckground on the systems: P4 @ 3.0Ghz 2GB PC2 4200 2x 250GB drives in RAID1 The system configurations are default for the most part with the server running MySQL and Apache. The problem that I am running into at this point, however is that the machine seems to run out of memory and will segfault either apache or mysql when does so, when apache segfaults, it is a recoverable error, when mysql does it, mysql can't recover short of restarting it. At this point, I have found a soft fix by running a cron job every 6 hours or so to clear the cached memory, which seems to be the problem, however, I would like to find a more permanent fix to this issue. Anything that would help at this point would be much appreciated. Cheers Kad
