Apache slow but light server load
I rund a dedicated webserver and I have problems with the Apache webserver. It loads websites very slowly. The amount of users accessing the website is very high though, but for me it is difficult to understand why the server load at Cpanel is low (0.28 with 2 CPU´s) and memory usage is just 31%.
Is that really possible that Apache goes down while the overall server load is low (according to Cpanel). Is there a way to give the Apache webserver more server ressources, because obviously the server is ok. Here are details of the server:
Linux OS: Centos 3.5
Kernel Version(uname -r) 2.4.21-32.0.1.ELsmp
Hardware Information: Pentium 4 HT, 3.0 Ghz, 1024MB RAM
Control Panel(if any) Cpanel 10.2.0-RELEASE 82
Apache 1.3.33 (Unix)
Any help appreciated, the server is managed, but the hoster insists that nothing can be done to solve the problem, just too many user accessing the site....
