Andrey Astakhov	Friday 19 October 2007 4:17:10 am My web server goes down third time this week. Server administrator say that they suspect php memory leaks. Hardware AMD Athlon64 3500+, 1GB RAM Software Operating system: Redhat Linux Fedora 6 Apache: 1.3.37 PHP: 4.4.7 (php info: http://prostobank.com.ua/phpinfo.php) Exponential: 3.8.4 We have about 5000 visitors per day. I noticed that ezsession table is always corrupted after server is down. I truncated this table and kept an eye on it. Thus, I've found out that size of this table grows drastically: about 50-60 NEW sessions per minute. At the moment I have 3900 anonymous users and 5900 sessions. I tried to delete old and expired sessions, but it doesn't work: i still have 5900 sessions (even more already). 60 new sessions per minute - is this a normall behaviour?
