After a clean server reboot, the server will be okay. Upon visiting the website and clicking around on some links, apache2 processes are created but never terminated and it constantly takes up more and more memory until the server essentially crashes. The only way to fix this is to either restart the apache2 service in order to terminate all of the processes, or by rebooting the server again.



My attempts have included restoring to default WordPress theme and disabling all plugins, then browsing the website again, although it seems the issue persists after the fact. I've also attempted to make minor configurations to apache.conf as well as the php.ini file.



I'm rather lost at the moment and have done research in order to try and find out what the issue is but have only gone down dead ends.



My question is, why are apache2 and mysqld taking up so much memory and prevent them from doing so in order to stop my server from crashing?



Below is an image of the currently running processes, showing apache eating up memory and spawning several apache2 processes.

  • Turn on swap. Please understand that you need swap, even on a machine with much more RAM than your current one.

  • Swap was not enabled on this server instance, although after enabling the swap file the issue persists.

After a clean server reboot, the server will be okay. Upon visiting the website and clicking around on some links, apache2 processes are created but never terminated and it constantly takes up more and more memory until the server essentially crashes. The only way to fix this is to either restart the apache2 service in order to terminate all of the processes, or by rebooting the server again.



My attempts have included restoring to default WordPress theme and disabling all plugins, then browsing the website again, although it seems the issue persists after the fact. I've also attempted to make minor configurations to apache.conf as well as the php.ini file.



I'm rather lost at the moment and have done research in order to try and find out what the issue is but have only gone down dead ends.



My question is, why are apache2 and mysqld taking up so much memory and prevent them from doing so in order to stop my server from crashing?



Below is an image of the currently running processes, showing apache eating up memory and spawning several apache2 processes.

After a clean server reboot, the server will be okay. Upon visiting the website and clicking around on some links, apache2 processes are created but never terminated and it constantly takes up more and more memory until the server essentially crashes. The only way to fix this is to either restart the apache2 service in order to terminate all of the processes, or by rebooting the server again.



My attempts have included restoring to default WordPress theme and disabling all plugins, then browsing the website again, although it seems the issue persists after the fact. I've also attempted to make minor configurations to apache.conf as well as the php.ini file.



I'm rather lost at the moment and have done research in order to try and find out what the issue is but have only gone down dead ends.



My question is, why are apache2 and mysqld taking up so much memory and prevent them from doing so in order to stop my server from crashing?



Below is an image of the currently running processes, showing apache eating up memory and spawning several apache2 processes.

It looks like your site is being hit by a particularly aggressive web crawler. You might look to see if you can exclude or rate-limit your site from that bot, or block it at the firewall if it's not a bot you particularly care about. Alternatively, you could add a robots.txt file to your site to discourage such bots.

    From the htop image I think mysqld is eating more memory than apache. I'm trying to provide some general solutions that may be helpful.



    1. Try tweaking mysqld parameters in /etc/my.cnf. Please google for how to reduce mysql memory consumption.


    2. I think memory footprint of apache/nginx + php-fpm is lesser than if you handle php directly with apache. In both cases, you can control the maximum number of php thread, memory per thread etc. Please do some fine tuning there.


    3. Most importantly analyze mysqld, apache2 etc log files. Read man pages for default log file locations and find for any error.


    Hope, that's help.

                      How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

                      Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers.
