Recently we have been encountering several problems on our server including sudden increase in memory usage and other scripts such as tailwatchd failing. After restarting the system problem resolves, however after a couple of minutes or hours, memory usage continues to increase until maximum.
Please send your suggestions. Successful bid will be hired for future problems we encounter as well.
I have a site: www.clearerimages.com
It is a stock photo site, users upload photos, the site creates 2 thumbnails once the file is uploaded. The problem is that it is using way too much memory. I have the limit set at 128MB, lower than that, and sometimes the thumbnails do not get generated. I do not think this is alright, something must be wrong with the way the script is written. I need someone to find out why it uses to much memory, and try to figure out a way to lower that memory usage.
In the near future I plan on having the site overhauled with a new upload system, so that may fix the problem as well, but I need a fix now.
