The problem is exactly when i monitor the httpd using top what i can see is only one process(httpd process) keep it's memory around 900MB but the rest keeps less memory.If i can kill that process and keep the rest to proceed it'll great.To do so Is there any configuration with prefork(Something like killing processes when them reach to a particular memory or any other configuration)please inform me.That'll be great full to me.I'll read the doc on how to configure prefork mpm. > > > > Regs > > lahiru > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP > > Server Project. > > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > " from the digest: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > This message is for the named person's use only.
