    I know the possible the wrong list, but i need a quick solution or
    answer.

    See, we have a 1U compaq server w/ 512 meg of ram running as the
    production
    web server for the company's web apps.
                                                                                    
    Was fine for a long time until the admin decided to reinstall the OS
    with RH
    9. Was running RH something.
                                                                                    
    Anyway, so we just finished a RH Enterprise ES (3.0?) install, apache
    and
    PHP, basic stuff, all packaged cept the PHP / Apachessl, and this server
    connects to the MSSQL server.
                                                                                    
    So about 40 ppl access this server, and everything was cool for about a
    week
    since it was installed, cept today we had load avg's of 1 - 2.5, and
    httpd
    processes (the ps shows about 13 of them) had about 15 megs of RAM usage
    each, and about 30-50% process usage as well.. up to 4 active at the
    same
    time with this usage.
                                                                                    
    Logs looked good, php error logs look fine, syslog looks fine, top shows
    mostly user processor usage, and it's not swapping to the hdd. the
    httpd.conf file is default cept the virtual hosts, of course.
                                                                                    
    a simple restart of apache didn't work, but stopping and starting it
    again
    did the trick.
                                                                                    
    This doesn't look good! Don't want to have to babysit the process.. any
    ideas or direction I can move towards? Gonna keep googl'ing for now.
                                                                                    
    thanks
