Topic: Memory usage Apache + PHP as module versus FastCGI

[Steffen]

Just to share, with my stats at http://www.land10.nl/apachestatus/ I graphed the memory usage with php as module and as fastcgi on the ApacheLounge server.

With PHP as module after some time the memory usage of Apache is growing and growing up to ~800M.
With mod_fcgid is stays on a steady ~100M
PHP configuration: only with the extension php_mysql.dll and eaccelerator.dll

Light blue: httpd.exe processes Memory Usage
Dark blue: all processes Memory Usage total

Fri-Sun : mod_fcgid
Mon-Tue : module with php from php.net (VC6)
Wed-Thu : module with self build php (VC9)
Fri-Sat : mod_fcgid

I'd like to know if there is a difference with mod_fcgid php VS6 vs mod_fcgid php VS9 selfbuild.

James, re mod_fcgid/vs6: Would you like me to send you one?

[James Blond]

[glsmith]

I just meant would you like a VS6 build of the mod sent to you? .. Guess not.

I build nothing

I meant the fcgi from apachelounge. One time with PHP from php.net (VS6) and the other time with PHP from steffen. (VS9)

Cause with the VS9 module there was less memory usage as with the one from PHP.net

[glsmith]

Gotcha .. now. Thought you meant an fcgid built VS6, which you know is what I use and will use till such time as it cannot be used any longer

VS6 that is

Cheers

I am also experiencing a similar issue here. When use the PHP as module the memory usage of Apache is growing very high. Without PHP I have not noticed this issue. What can be done to stop this. Thanks for the help.

As you can conclude from above, use mod_fcgid.
