We met with Jeff from Opus Web this morning about doing the front end of research.me and I have to say that I’m pretty impressed. He knew what he was talking about, he asked some good questions, and he showed off some good examples of his work. I’m looking forward to what they come up with for us.
I checked the memory usage on askel today and found that there is very likely a memory leak involving Apache. “top” reports that each apache process is occupying between 7.5% and 7.9% of total memory. When I first logged into the system there was ~18M of free memory. After restarting Apache “top” reported the same %mem usage for the Apache processes. However, the free memory spikes to ~89M and starts going down again. I have decrease the memory usage parameter for PHP from 4M to 2M to see if that will have an effect.
When reimaging one of the machines in Erie, I found that there was an error in my network image file. I apparently forgot to specify a partition within the Ghost image from which to restore from. This was easily fixed and the file replaced. The parameters for the file have been updated in the staff wiki.
I switched all the window machines in Superior from .we to .coe in DHCP and TC.
