High Memory usage of my server...

Hey,

you probably got lose limite and some php zombies hanging arround.

Short term solution:
- stop your webserver.
- Check for running php5-cgi prozesses and kill them manually (killall php5-cgi or killall -9 php5-cgi).
- Check for dead shm and semaphores by "ipcs -l and ipcs -m". And remove the segments/sem that might have been created by the webserver or any php process (owner).
- restart webserver

For further investigation, could you provide us with:
- Apache worker or prefork settings (whatever u may use).
- The purpose of that webserver (e.g how many sites are hosted).
- The exact fastcgi settings
- the Fastcgi version
- the output of "pstree -uc | grep php5" (put it on pastebin).
- Your php starter settings.

cheers,
Nikolas
