Overload /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start

Posted on May 12, 2016

Hi guys,

I currently have a droplet Ubuntu, 1 GB with one wordpress website on it. It does not have many requests.

For some reason (since yesterday), Apache is eating my RAM and CPU. Htop preview

I already set my apache2.conf to this:

<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
    StartServers          1
    MinSpareServers       1
    MaxSpareServers       1
    MaxClients           10
    MaxRequestsPerChild   5
</IfModule>

And i still get a CPU op 100% and memory of ±80/90%.

Can you guys help me?
