    Hello Guys

    I checked process list, I found too many of httpd process .... when I run : "ps -ef | grep http | wc -l" I got : 310

    that happened suddenly, few days ago number of httpd procces didnt raise 30

    and I'm 90% sure there's no ddos attack, can anyone help me please ?

    BTW, I run on server I7, 24Gb RAM .. my site traffic is 30k visitors daily

    Try enabling apache server-status and then check it out when the server peaks. If you are on whm/cpanel server then you should already have that in whm menu on the left. If not, then try enabling it first in your httpd.conf file and then access it via http :// yourserver/server-status
    More info on this at apache docs
