RE: Apache memory leak?

Hi Uli,

Thanks for the reply. That's what i thought so. It's definitely high memory comsumption there.
I do not serve anything else for Apache. It's a dedicated subversion server via http and nothing else.

I have svnadmin running daily for backup. But when the backup service is not running, it's stuck in the process somehow.

Regards,
Lee

Huh? That sounds really bad.

That sounds even worse!

Apropos: Do you have to reboot the machine or does it suffice to restart
Apache? The difference is important in order to make out the culprit.

That sounds like a lot, but I don't know what else you are serving with Apache
there.

Why is svnadmin running? Who started it and why? That should be a tool for
administration and maintenance, not something that regularly runs. The only
thing it is good for regularly is to create a dumpfile from a hotcopy for
backup purposes.
