Re: [users@httpd] Apache maxing out my CPU
Just turn it off, that will slow things down I would imagine.
Why do you expect to get an answer while supplying NO details?
Didn't momma teach you how to post to a mailing list?

Didn't your momma teach you not to top post Eric? How about using reply
so that we can see your reply in the same thread? She teach you that?

Hi, Steve. I am no apache expert but the only thing that I can think of
that may cause apache to hog up your cpu power is:
1) your site is receiving lots of hits to the point that one webserver
cannot handle the load. Or...
2) your site is generating a lot of dynamic pages
A good place to start is to analyze your web logs to measure your traffic.
Cheers,
Michael.

Well, as the others have suggested it's probably a script of some sort
that's taking all the CPU cycles because normal static html and images
really shouldn't present much load to the system. So, the first thing
you need to tell us is what, if any, kind of scripts or dynamically
generated objects your site is serving. And, just to be clear, you have
verified using Task Manager that it is indeed the Apache process that is
using all these CPU cycles? Does anything else noteworthy stand out in
Task Manager, for example, an apache process that has a huge memory
footprint and is causing the system to swap?
Another good thing to do is turn on mod_status and have a look at the
status output. If there's some type of request that is taking a long
time to complete then you'd expect to see that thing listed as the
active request for a number of workers.

Thanks for the helpful answer Eric. To answer your question, no I have never
posted on a mailing list before. I figured that since I am a new apache user
and don't know what information would be needed, that someone being helpful
may tell me what they would need to know to troubleshoot it. I am doing this
as a volunteer for a church and therefore have no other resources to check
with.
I can start by saying that I am running this on a Windows XP system. I am
running Apache v2.0.47 barring that, I would be happy to provide any other
requested details.
Thanks for your helpful reply.
Steve
