I'm attempting to configure apache to use a bit less memory. I'm wondering what you would consider to be either "heavy memory users" or just totally unnecessary when it comes to the loaded modules. I don't want to do anything yet, but so far I've commented out:

mod_status
mod_info
mod_userdir
mod_cern_meta
mod_asis

I'd love to get apache to run even lighter. Any recommendations? Sample conf files? Thanks!

Unnecessary is in the eye of the beholder, but the --disable rules in my compile of Apache 2.2 are:

include
filter
charset-lite
negotiation
asis
userdir
env
setenvif
status
autoindex

in addition to the modules that are off by default, and also the auth stuff as I do that entirely through scripts.

  • negotiation! took that guy out and "seems" to be much better.

My rule of thumb is to not load any modules I'm not using. However, this breaks down some if you're hosting sites controlled by others and need to keep things they might require loaded.

  • I'm the only site using this configuration so I can do whatever I like pretty much.
