I have a very busy Dual Intel Xeon 2.4 Ghz server running PHP, Mysql and Apache 2.0.51 with CentOS. I am using Drupal open source content management software. I am using Apache prefork and getting what appears to be memory leaks. Every hour or so each child process starts growing and growing in memory usage until everything shuts down. Even when I have Maxrequestsperchild set to 1.
I have tried everything and am not sure where to go next. I need a professional to now come in and troubleshoot what the problem is and solve this memory issue.
I have several years experience with MySQL and Apache, and can start immediately on this. I am available via MSN and Skype.
Thanks for considering my bid.

Memory leaks on apache+php+mysql is usually caused by errors on the php scripts you run (big mysql queries, bad use of xml functions and so on). I can examine the scripts and help you to limit the impact of "evil" php scripts .
Hi
I'm actually working as a system administrator with almost 20 Centos servers running any server you can imagine (dns, dhcp, firewalls, orace clusters, apache, cyrus, mysql....), can help you fix your problems with apache.

ok! We are handling more then 300 Linux servers now . Well I belive the problem you are getting is because of MySQL rather then apache. I can check your server if you want .
