Load average problem...

Hi,

The load average of my server is around 100, I can't use it. How to know the
process which causes the problem and if this is apache (it's a webserver),
is this possible to know which internet site causes it ?

Thanks !!

Jérôme

Unplug the network cable, if is apache the load should drop almost
immediately.

Check the log files of apache.

From my experience, apache on his own doesn't suck so much resources,
it sounds more a problem in some server-side process (PHP?)

top is your friend in this case. Look at which process is using all your
cpu up and kill it.
