[rt-users] Help - memory leak problems

[John Jasen]

I've put some of the following into my httpd.conf, and so far, apache has 
remained stable and reasonably quick over the last 10 days:

redhat linux 7.3, rt 3.0.4, 1GB ram

MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 15
MinSpareServers 2
MaxSpareServers 10
StartServers 6
MaxClients 50
MaxRequestsPerChild 500

Season these values to taste for your environment, and it should help. The 
goal is to kill off apache child processes as they get 'too old and 
overworked'.

Hope that helps.
