What to do, how to clean the memory?

P.S: Sorry do not know much English

[motokochan]

Clean? What do you mean? It looks like a busy server with enough memory to keep the swap from being used a lot. That looks fine to me.

[legion726]

I was leading a little to reduce the load on the server. At servake is current ISPCP

Debian 5 x64

[kilburn]

Do you use fastcgi or fcgid?

[legion726]

No, everything is by default after the installation as ispcp

I do not even know why you need it
The main thing that would work sites

[pgentoo]

This is a lot of php5-cgi processes for one site (vu20005). Unless you did this on purpose because that site is under heavy load, i'd trim it down.

I believe the default settings in php5-fcgi-starter script cause issues which may be what you are seeing. I found with the default settings many more php5 processes would be started, and a lot of times they woudl not be shutdown on an apache restart (like they should).

I proceeded to modify my starter script as follows, and haven't had any issues since (several months back). There are a few threads on this same issue if you search for "php5-fcgi-starter" in the forum. I believe the finding was that php.net recommends against using php's "child process management" and using fastcgi/fcgid's built in support instead.

Example (see commented out lines):

Code:

#!/bin/sh

umask 022

PHPRC="/var/www/fcgi/mydomain.com/php5/"

export PHPRC
#PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=2
#export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN
#PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=500
#export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS

exec /usr/lib/php5/bin/php-cgi

Give this a try and see how it works for you. As i noted, you may need to stop apache, kill left over php5-cgi processes, then start apache so orphaned processes aren't left behind after the config change.
