Why multiple instances of Apache

    I have three sites all hosted on a dedicated server with Godaddy. They said I had no memory available and 290 instances of Apache running. They said they had no idea why, but I would need to research why. And it was due to my coding or practices. Can anyone point me in a direction to research this? I am using cpanel.

    If you’re on a dedicated server, it’s a server issue and not WordPress. I’d ask or research at http://serverfault.com/ Nothing in a theme should spawn multiple instances of Apache; plugins might.

    Thanks. I have plugins cause it to me slow and have seen it in the error logs. But I didn’t make any changes and it was working last week and now they are saying that it crashed because there was no memory. I am not familiar with server settings to research it further.

    Well, running your own server means learning server admin. Unless you change to a managed server; then GoDaddy will help, as you’d be paying them for the management.

    Yes I am totally aware of that. I have learned as things have come up. So this is the next issue on the list.
