Hi, AFAIK, even if there was a gig of ram in there, it would not allocate any (or maybe just a little) to free memory, and would throw any free memory into buffers anyway. So 68M of buffers tells me it has ample free memory, it or wouldn't allocate so much there anyway, right? Sincerely, Jason

Hi, Too bad this is a production system or I would try it. I've never tried reiserFS (neither has anyone else here) so we might test it along with a 2.4 kernel later. I hear 2.4 has intergrated reiserFS support? Sincerely, Jason - Original Message - From: "Alson van der Meulen" <[EMAIL

I am wondering what is the best way to get simular results to suexec with php? I've heard of people running seperate instances of apache for each client. Is that likely to be a messy solution? how much overhead would each instance be? The other solution is to use the CGI version of php and use

Probably not. If you're not using the CGI version of PHP, then you have to use the module version, and thus PHP will be joined at the hip with the Apache daemons and you're stuck w/ the user/group that Apache is running under. As you mentioned, the CGI version of PHP does not have this proble

Hi, Yeah.. they still make 15Gb drives. I think they still make 10Gbs but I'm not sure. Concerning the drives, since most of these are dedicated servers, they main way we can differenciate (sp.? plz correct me if wrong) is to provide different amounts of ram, cpu mhz, disk space, bandwidth, etc.
