As Jerry did not specify which content his apache is serving, I used |
| 15 |
12MB of RAM per apache process (as a general rule of thumb). But if it's |
| 16 |
dynamic content generated by a scripting language like php it could be a |
| 17 |
lot more. But I think 80-100MB of RAM with php in the back should be a |
| 18 |
good guess. |

Important thing is: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
MaxClients x memory footprint per apache process < available memory :-) |

If you have lots of concurrent requests you may be better suited with |
| 25 |
something lighter.... like lighttpd. Or start caching of some sort, like |

Michael does. |
