Re: [gentoo-user] Apache ?!?

[William Meertens]

Hi Sasha and happy Gentoo people,

I have it running. I believe the lines that follow this one :
Srv	PID	Acc	M	CPU 	SS	Req	Conn	Child	Slot	Client	VHost	Request
are the ones that are going to give me an answer.

The start of the page gives me this information :
Current Time: Tuesday, 28-Feb-2006 20:14:15 CET
Restart Time: Tuesday, 28-Feb-2006 19:54:28 CET
Parent Server Generation: 0
Server uptime: 19 minutes 47 seconds
Total accesses: 219 - Total Traffic: 1.4 MB
CPU Usage: u5.88 s.8 cu0 cs0 - .563% CPU load
.184 requests/sec - 1263 B/second - 6.7 kB/request
31 requests currently being processed, 5 idle servers

This long after my swap space got filled. That only takes about 2 minutes. And doesn't get filled with Apache not running. The CPU load doesn't rise higher then 5%.

If I understand the lines at the bottom of the page. And the direction you are heading at. Then my problem is site related. Only how do I know which one causes it. Or where do I have to pay the most attention at when looking at the outcome? Which always changes, I don't see anything looking different, or sticking out from the rest.

Many thanks,
William.
