High Memory Usage - Suggestions?

[Cool-R]

Hello,

I have recently compiled PHP (using Litespeed).

It was 2-5% Memory (RAM) usage and Now it's 29%

I was wondering, do we have to Disable(/remove) Apache or something?

I was monitoring the Memory, It went very high during php compilation.

I did restart couple of times to make sure if its temporary but i still get 29% memory usage.

Please guide me. Does PHP 5.x uses more memory than 4.x (I assume that's crazy?)

OS: Debian 5 64bit.

you can build smaller php, just fit your application needs.
for example using --disable-all option, php size will be much smaller.

Do you want me to compile php again or start it from the first?

save a copy of php binary you built last time. bu default it's in /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin. just change lsphp5 symbol link to switch between different php binary.

first time build php may feel difficult, 2nd, 3rd time should be easier.

Hey Nitewave,
Thanks for your prompt responses, Sorry I was having my exams @ University (Wasn't able to get back).

I've Reinstalled OS again.

How do i do that? (just in case wanted to know).

2> Since, I'm going to install litespeed & compile PHP now, Would you suggest me any quick steps to do the above steo #1?

3> can I have Litespeed server with Debian 32 bit with Webmin? (if not, please suggest me a very light control panel)

Thank you!
