Apache jamming at low load average
- by Apikot
Apache seems to stop responding sometimes even though apache processes are still running.
After restarting apache, the load average usually shoots up from 1 - 2 to 13 - 15 in a matter of seconds.
What would the cause of this be, or how could I find out why apache stops serving?
My httpd.conf is:
<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
StartServers 8
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 20
MaxClients 50
ServerLimit 50
MaxRequestsPerChild 4000
</IfModule>
It's running on an EC2 c1.medium (1.7 GB of memory)
Thanks
