Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Phpgroupware and memory

[Tom Gasaway]

I had similar problems and I noticed that RedHat's default startup script
for apache (/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd) includes all the modules (see moduleargs()).
I stripped out as many as I could that I wasn't using.  I also had to modify 
httpd.conf to put in more IfDefine's around the things I removed to keep apache
from trying to load the modules.  I don't have this problem anymore, but I 
didn't 
investigate to determine which module actually caused the problem.  I included 
the module options I removed and those I left in at the end of this message.
