[imp] Memory Usage

[Fábio Gomes]

Thank you Andrew,

Look that:

php.ini:

upload_max_filesize = 5M
memory_limit = 8M

httpd.conf:

MaxRequestsPerChild 0

   =P  Yes.... Got it? My MaxRequestsPerChild is 0 (unlimited). And as 
httpd conf comentary says:

# MaxRequestsPerChild: the number of requests each child process is
# allowed to process before the child dies.  The child will exit so
# as to avoid problems after prolonged use when Apache (and maybe the
# libraries it uses) leak memory or other resources.  On most systems, this
# isn't really needed, but a few (such as Solaris) do have notable leaks
# in the libraries. For these platforms, set to something like 10000
# or so; a setting of 0 means unlimited.

   I'm gonna try this. I thought this may solve the problem.

   Thank you Andrew,
   I think this coulbe become a FAQ for Solaris instalations.
