how to reduce amount of httpd and mysqld running

[Rens L.]

Hello,

I have a VPS since last week, currently only running 3 websites. But i still uses almost all my RAM...

op - 22:25:54 up 1 day, 6:09, 0 users, load average: 0.04, 0.07, 0.07
Tasks: 114 total, 2 running, 112 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 0.9%us, 0.8%sy, 0.1%ni, 98.0%id, 0.1%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.1%si, 0.0%st
Mem: 515332k total, 507896k used, 7436k free, 68048k buffers
Swap: 1048568k total, 0k used, 1048568k free, 250204k cached

When i run top i can see 9 times httpd (all using almost 4% ram) and 10 times mysqld (all using almost 3% ram). The amount of pop and imap i already changed.

I have read other topic's but couldn't find a solution to drop the usage.

thx

you don't have to worry about this. You have to worry only if the swap memory it's
getting filled very fast.

ok nice

but do you know a way to reduce it or not?

Theres no need to reduce it. Its the way it caches the ram.

You want a linux system to be using almost 100% of ram. Do some research on how a linux system uses ram.

Even after doing the research and you still want to slow your system down by reducing the amount of httpd processes that are started then you can make changes in the httpd.conf file.
