Apache error log

[fsqueeen]

I found there's a process keep on running in my server, here's the process name I saw

from WHM:
Pid Command
28193 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL

from SSH:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
28193 root 25 0 10864 5208 3140 R 1.0 0.3 34:20.64 httpd
(TIME is accumulated since yesterday)


And, I found the error_log in apache server keep on growing in every second! Anyone can tell me why it's growing like this?

I thought there's any log file exceeding 2GB in my server, but seems like it isn't. Current file size:
error_log 83291726
access_log 27844884

Anyone can help with this problem? Thanks in advance!

Check file size limit and make sure that the file system is not full.

So anything wrong with this figure?

core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals (-i) 1024
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 32
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 1024
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200
stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 32639
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks (-x) unlimited

its because apache is not coded to support largefilesize, and instead it uses the 2GB limit.
