Consuming Too Many Processes?

Sidecutter

I'm using 1.8.0.1, and seem to have an issue that looks to have started around the same time I first set up OSTicket. Specifically, I am getting a huge number of instances of the error telling me that I have reached the maximum number of processes and am not allowed to start anymore at this time. My maximum is 20 processes with my host. I asked them for any details they could provide, and this is what they showed, which appears to point to the OSTicket index PHP file. It seems like perhaps it is generating processes and not closing them out properly?Here is a list of processes currently runing on your account:USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMANDcaptured 1271 0.0 0.1 55516 10448 ?

Anyone?

I've never seen anyone report a problem like this with osT. My understanding is that the number of threads that even can be spawned is generally configured by the server. I'm not aware of any thing in osT that would spawn a ton of processes like you have described. Generally speaking when the web server receives a request it will spawn a new php process... this of course is greatly simplified and varies from platform to platform. This article may help clarify.
