Memory allocation problem with apache.

Dreft · 02-06-2011, 11:04 AM

While Apache is off, then everything is OK, but if I start apache server after some time I get messages "Unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory" when trying to do some commands with ssh(dir,rm,top and so on).

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
P.S. There is free RAM when I get that message.

i think that for a correct troubleshooting ypu have to post both apache and server configuration

It looks like you have your ulimits set too low, or you have resource limits set too high in httpd.conf. You will need to adjust these resource limits by making changes to ulimit in the httpd init script, or in /etc/security/limits.conf (on redhat style systems). You can type 'ulimit -a' to see what the current limits are set to. I hope this helps.
