[Bug 659880] Re: libapache2-mod-php5 will consume all available memory when installed and activated

[Clint Byrum]

Hello mayukmok00, thanks so much for taking the time to file this bug
report and help make Ubuntu better!

The logs I see above don't help very much in determining what happened
to your server. However these two lines are very telling:

[Tue Oct 12 15:28:09 2010] [notice] Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) DAV/2 SVN/1.6.6 mod_fcgid/2.3.4 PHP/5.3.2-1ubuntu4.5 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ruby/1.2.6 Ruby/1.8.7(2010-01-10) mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8k configured -- resuming normal operations
[Tue Oct 12 15:28:56 2010] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting

The sever reached MaxClients in under 60 seconds of uptime. Also I see
PHP, fcgid, and Ruby all in this one server, so its possible other
things are using up all of the RAM.

In short, I believe this may be due to the web applications you are
serving, not any bug in php.

Can you repeat the sequence which causes the problems on a machine that
is not serving heavy production traffic? Also something that would be
useful would be the output of:

ps auxww | grep www-data

Which should show the running swelled up processes.

Thanks!
