[11:52] u0203:apache2# grep memory_limit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB) On all four servers, all Debian standardconfigs. > Php 5.2.6 fixes some memory leaks.

[12:08] u0140:~% grep implicit_flush /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini implicit_flush = Off > If nothing helps, you can set MaxMemFree and/or MaxRequestsPerChild in > your apache config as a workaround. I am trying the following hacks currently: - MaxRequestsPerChild on server u0203 - Disabled SSL on server u0141 I did not know about MaxMemFree before your Mail, maybe I'll try it on the third webserver. My next step would be to compile apache2.2.8 and php 5.2.6 from source with debugging symbols and run valgrind in front of it... hope I don't have to do it, because this implies installing full developement kit including mysql, postgresql, etc. dev pakets...
