Hi,
the httpd process on my size is very big, about 20mb... consider that there are tens of them... can its size be reduced, disabling some not used modules?
 
Yes, you can modify the httpd configuration file to suit your needs.

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
 
You don't want to set it to low otherwise requests from users will timeout or be slow. The general idea is to set it at and a little above the number of requests you expect.
What are your system specs if it can't run with the default DA provides?
 
I also wouldnt mind knowing how to reduce memory consumption as my test directadmin server doesnt need to be serving many hits but is using a lot of memory on httpd and perl.
 
On my RHL testbed system (very lightly used) they use a bit under 10mB each.

Ok, could you tell e which modules are most frequenty used and how can I decide which to load and which not?
Thanks in advance
 
I can't because we always load the default installed by the OS and/or control panel.

We use the ones installed by default with DA.

Perhaps someone else has done a study.

my apache is using a lot of memory.

1927 apache 96 0 26472K 21784K select 0:12 0.88% 0.88% httpd
1942 apache 20 0 26180K 21492K lockf 0:08 0.83% 0.83% httpd
1938 apache 20 0 26468K 21780K lockf 0:08 0.78% 0.78% httpd
1934 apache 20 0 26264K 21560K lockf 0:10 0.73% 0.73% httpd
1930 apache 20 0 26192K 21504K lockf 0:11 0.68% 0.68% httpd
2100 apache 20 0 24864K 20160K lockf 0:03 0.63% 0.63% httpd
1929 apache 20 0 26468K 21784K lockf 0:11 0.54% 0.54% httpd

this is default DA setup, so I dont know how yours only uses 10meg per process.
