[0218]

Hello all,

I am using Fecora core 2 and cpanle server.
Since i blocked user's vulnerability php scritp attack, I found my server's RAM is high usage and always stay in 65-70%. I ran the /top, but I found nothing strange. Anybody can teahc me how can I find where my RAM go?

There may be nothing wrong with it. Most *nix distributions will use available ram for cacheing.

but before taht is never more than 60%. but now is stay at minimum 60% and sometimes reach to 75% or above...
is it normal?

Its pretty normal.. All *nix servers try to use the avaible memory for caching for more speed. My server's is at a constant 71% minimum, unless your memory is running out and starting to use the swap space you should be ok.

h.. ok thank you.

if you still wish to view the processes sorted on the basis of memory usage, you first need to give top command and then shift + m

I found a lot of httpd and mysql by top + shift M.

I ran /ls -l /proc/PID for httpd.. but all is link to httpd.

i unable to cechk mysql process list. how can chcek what is mysql running to which websites?

For this purpose you need to configure MYSQL config file to write logs , by default this doesnt write logs.

You can get more help from here http://dev.mysql.com/

With logs you can see what domain are using mysql and how frequently
