RE: Apache memory leak?

Message Hi Tony,


Yes, that's my problem too. I have to reboot every few days.

This is my server signature: Server: Apache/2.2.13 (Win32) DAV/2
SVN/1.6.5 mod_auth_sspi/1.0.4

I run it on Windows Server 2003, with LDAP authentication.
Still the high memory consumption with Apache 2.2. I don't remember if
the problem is there when it's still operating under Apache 2.0.


Regards,
Lee

The only time I have found excessive memory consumption with apache was
when I tried to use ldap authentication on apache 2.0. The memory usage
would creep up over a period of time, and eventually I had to restart
apache (every few days, or so, I think). I gave up on ldap and the
problem went away.

I have since used ldap authentication with apache 2.2, and there are no
problems there.

I agree - apache should normally not need to be rebooted for months at a

Sounds like my ldap problem with 2.0, see above...
