[horde] runaway httpd processes?

[Annelise Stighall]

It seems like a similar problem that I have. I run a Solaris Sun cluster with an older version of Apache, php, and horde. What I see is a occasionally my httpd's will run havoc and eat all memory. This is supposedly to Leaky Solaris libs. What I have done for it is that I set a max limit of memory in the httpd.conf how much apache is allowed and then limit the number of servers which are allowed to start.
 
We currently have 68K+ on our system and during each day about 18K logins.
 
One rudimentary way of doing it but it works.

I've had this issue now for 6 months and only in production, as I can't generate enough traffic or replicate the same issues in test.

So I made 3 live changes to production with Apache / PHP.

Originally I used the apache / php that came from REDHAT but memory utilization was at least 5 - 10 MB higher in each httpd process than what is currently in production and still had runaway httpd processes.

We have used Apache 2.0.59 with PHP 4.4.4 again with runaway httpd processes as well as a high comsumption of cached memory.

Like Kevin I will be waiting for the next release of Horde that will hopefully repair these issues.

Currently the bulk of 10,000 logins a day is between 8:00AM - 4:30pm. 
We have A user base of 102,000 users.

Hello Craig,

Usually that's the source of the problems on RedHat systems.
Especially when you compile major version higher than there was on
original (in your case 4.3.9 vs 5.1.6). If I were you, I'd try running
Horde on original PHP/Apache versions first, and see if that helps.
