64-Bit Processes

Having just enabled web sharing, according to Activity Monitor, it appears that the web server that's running is a 64-bit application. Does anyone know of any other 64-bit native apps that show like this in AM?

yesterday i had a whole slew of them but as of this morning they have all gone. Just curious what is your VM size.

VM size? Not sure, don't have one running... it's got 768Mb allocated to it when it's running, but Fusion is shut down at the moment. Hmmm, odd. I did just install the latest Leopard compatibility update, but I only open Windows once and closed it. That was hours ago! 😕

In the system memory tab there is a thing called VM size (virtual memory)

Oops - got confused. It is 1am after all! My VM size is 49.49Gb at the moment.

I'd change Apache to not run as root if I were you.

That's how it runs when you activate Web Sharing in the Sharing prefs. Is there a way to change that?

Apache should have one process running as root and then the rest should be running as _www.

The root apache process doesn't handle any web requests it just starts new child processes when needed.
