Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #8889: Memory is not being freed.

I have been noticing the same problem on my server. Apache started consuming large amounts of memory after I upgraded to php-4.0.4pl1. Running ps -aux would tell me that apache was consuming 6.9 - 11.0 in the "mem" column; restarting apache would make the numbers go back down to ~3.0. I think the problem may have something to do with ob_gzhandler. I tried disabling ob_gzhandler last night and the server has been fine all day. Is there something I can do to get more information about what's going on? I'm running php-4.0.4pl1 as an apache-1.3.14 module on RedHat 6.2. - Jon ----- Original Message ----- From: <brian@phorum.org> To: <php-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2001 10:21 AM Subject: [PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #8889: Memory is not being freed. From: brian@phorum.org Operating system: RH 7 PHP version: 4.0.4 PHP Bug Type: Performance problem Bug description: Memory is not being freed. Hi guys, I do not have much information. I know that my Apache processes memory is growing by the minute. If I start a separate server on another port and serve only static pages and files through it, those process do not grow. I have tried what I remembered of gdb but have not come up with anything. I know I need to attach to a process and it seems I can gdb {pid} but that gives me nothing. How can I get some info for you guys? I do have --enable-debug. thanks, Brian.
