SERIUS PROBLEM: apache hungs after few hours of streaming

[gab74]

I use zoneminder with ciclyng function. The client mozilla (running on the same server under gnome) is always opened to show films in relatime...after 2 hours the server become slow...i see that apache uses all memory and all swap.....

I cannot think that a 2core AMD64 with 1GB RAM and a free disk of 250GB hungs after 2 hours with only 3 CAMERAS attached

Is there a solution to this serious apache2 problems ??

Please i need a quick answer to this serious problem on my production machine...

It's most likely not an Apache problem but more the browser hogging the resources.
The fix is to not use a browser on the zm server since we have no control over the browser. You can try to disable caching and such in the browser which may help.

using a browser on the host machine is a definete no-no
A while ago we played about with using a scipt to keep restarting firefox but this was a kludge. Have a search it was about 2 yrs ago i reakon.
The live stream viewer is the only way to view live streams on the host.
