suspect apache/php problem in Fedora 18

[Andrew Gray]

Hi 

Fedora 18 X86_64 

Have you looked at the section in httpd.conf that blocks squirrelmail
access to filesystem :-

#
# Deny access to the entirety of your server's filesystem. You must
# explicitly permit access to web content directories in other
# <Directory> blocks below.
#
<Directory />
   AllowOverride none
    Require all denied
</Directory>

I just comment out the above and squirrelmail worked !

I run Fedora 18 only to develop a drupal 7 web system

Fedora ha proven very stable except  when developing the web system 
apache simply switches off when I change functions in drupal and needs 
to be restarted to continue work.
I run clear; sudo service httpd stop && sudo service httpd start dozens 
of times a day.
Further, and not so frequently the dreaded Drupal memory allocation 
error seems built in to the system it is so prevalent.
To work around this I ps aux |grep httpd which shows up to 7 instances 
of httpd. I kill the first 2 instances and can continue working.

I have fresh installed drupal system which is a copy of a live site, I 
have only gedit running as an editor and run System Monitor to check 
memory and cpu. Memory runs at 70% of 2 Gig CPU's are normal.
Temp and swap don't get used.

httpd creates it's own error log which reports
[Wed Feb 13 22:20:21.593435 2013] [core:notice] [pid 10305] SELinux

/var/log/httpd/access_log reports:

"Apache/2.4.3 (Fedora) PHP/5.4.11 (internal dummy connection)"
There are 10 dummy connections.

I have run out of ideas so ask if there's a short script I can run to 
gather the http instances from ps aux  and automatically kill them then 
stop and restart httpd.

Another alternative may be to install nginX and delete apache but I do 
not know what resources that may affect.
Thanks
Roger
