I have one account on my vps that is hogging more than it's fair share of memory. How can I limit that account's memory usage?

  • Setting memory_limit in the php.ini? It appears as if this sets the memory per script – so that would change based on the number of pages or requests instead of the total for the account?
  • Setting the RLimitMEM in Apache sets a new memory limit for Apache processes. (in whm (Home >> Service Configuration >> Apache Configuration >> Memory Usage Restrictions) That would also change the total memory based on requests instead of the total for the account?

The only memory limitations currently supported are the ones that you have asked about. There is no way currently in cPanel to apply a memory limit on an account basis, only on a per script or per process basis. The issue you would encounter is how to apply a memory limit on a per account basis as each account does not spawn its own Apache process and if it did would be a waste of resources as the account would not always need that process to be active. If you are seeing performance issues try applying a per-scriipt php.ini memory limitation.
