thttpd

nightice

Since I don't do much in the way of serving, I'm probably going to switch my server from Apache to something lighter like thttpd. It looks pretty efficient. Thoughts/ideas?

nightice

looking at ps aux right now, it appears that apache+child processes are eating up about 72% of memory, might be a reason to switch...

Dont *nix OSes use most of the memory as cache?

nightice

Dunno.

BOD

My server's using 94% of 192MB right now....

nightice

My fluctuates between 86% and 97%.

nightice

Hmm. I've got it changed over. When it's idle, it's using around 3% of the memory. Apache during idle times used around 72%.

I like thttpd.

I use RH/Mandrake/SME? When was this?

Well then, enlighten us. What do you use? Slack?

nightice

Yep. I don't have time for Gentoo, otherwise I'd be using that.

Sometimes when you teach yourself you miss out on a few things. I had heard that Slackware was "the geek's Linux" or something like that so when I finally decided to try linux, Slack was the first distro I got since I had also heard that you end up teaching yourself using it.

I just remembered...it's running as a daemon. inetd, sshd, crond, etc are also all daemons and reporting less than 2% of memory.

Actually, I was toying around with PHP, but I never expected it to use that much memory.
