Troubleshoot high memory usage
Hey everyone. I have a 512 mb real / 512mb swap VPS that has pretty high memory usage. I'm running three domains (very low traffic), bind, mysql, apache, and openvpn. I believe openvpnas is the culprit, because I stop it and my free RAM nearly doubles. Here is what I am getting from top:
%Cpu(s): 0.0 us, 0.0 sy, 0.0 ni, 99.5 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.5 st
KiB Mem: 524288 total, 395352 used, 128936 free, 0 buffers
KiB Swap: 524288 total, 101308 used, 422980 free, 71452 cached

Any guidance as to what to do next?

Hello,
OpenVPN/PPPT Vpn is only uses maximum 40mb, as above shows your memory is captured by apache (fastphp) and mysql. Just use old CGI for php. And you can see your vps normal. I'm using 35 high traffic sites with virtualmin (php as cgi) 1gb RAM.
Great. Thanks for the help guys
Seems like it isn't showing child processes / threads / forks, which can eat a lot of memory in Apache's case.
