VPS 512 MB RAM with WordPressMU comes to consumes lots of memory
- by CAPitalZ
I have googled for days and gathered all optimization suggestions and tried.
My sites are not getting any high hits.
May be like 100 hits per day [all my sites combined].
Here are my specs
I have 512 MB RAM VPS with burstable 1024 MB.
Centos 5 32-bit & cPanel/WHM
Apache 2.2
MySQL 5.0
PHP 5.3.2
Here is my Configs
I have 2 WordPressMU production sites, and 1 test site
my.cnf

My average memory consumption is like 1000 MB! [yes always bursting]
The process that consumes most CPU and also most memory is mysql
But I also get like 15 httpd processes [when its bursting]
I already got warning from cpuwatchcheck saying
"While processing, the cpu has been
maxed out for more than a 6 hour period. The current load/uptime line on the server at the time of this email is
07:00:37 up 11:30, 0 users, load average: 14.64, 16.79, 20.07"
I don't know, I have tried switching these config values many different times, but nothing seems to work.
Please show some light... Thanks
