Hi there,
Excuse me if I ask any Noobish questions, however im not as experienced as Id like to think, however I do think I have quite a serious problem. Occasionly the server loads are going rocket high, when i view the CPU usage, most of these are Apache processes such as...
11161 nobody 0 8.8 1.3 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL
11132 nobody 0 8.2 0.8 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL
11137 nobody 0 3.6 0.8 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL
I don't believe those ones are that bad, however some apache processes occasionly rocket up to about 40.. I also look at the average 24 Hour figures, however I don't seem to get them that much. When i do a tracelog I can see a few things that are apparently causing it, however when I ask clients nicely to try and remove them, Im not really seeing a great difference. Im not sure if im just not looking or undertanding them correctly or what... Heres an example of a few of the Average CPU Usage...
eoradioc eoradio.co.uk 6.11 15.53 35.4

Top Process %CPU 69.0 gzip -f -
Top Process %CPU 14.8 httpd [domain4] [/shoutbox/]
Top Process %CPU 7.0 cpanellogd - archiving logs for tom2
I notice the cron jobs are of quite high load, however the overall for the account doesnt seem to bad?
Anyone know what I should do? Im totally stumped as im not that experienced? Is it this that is causing such high loads or is there something else I should be checking?
The loads can vary from around a reasonably healthy 1.37-19.76 (sometimes higher) during peak times. It doesn't go that high often however it can shoot up to around 10.00 and back down slowly. I relealise this is more of a processor issue, however would purchasing more Ram for the server relax the load?
Ta for any help, It is much appreciated![]()
