Running apache 2.0.53 on Solaris 8. Child processes build up to the maximum (MaxClients), and then the web server stops responding so I have to go and kill old httpd process (I never have to restart apache). The processes I kill are generally a few days old, or several hours old.
As I understand it, the server becomes unresponsive when it hits the 200 MaxClients limit, but the KeepAliveTimeout, or at least the Timeout value, should have returned those older processes to general service. This doesn't appear to be happening as I have old httpd processes that just hang around. Some relevant httpd.conf entries: Timeout 300 KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 KeepAliveTimeout 15 StartServers 12 MinSpareServers 10 MaxSpareServers 30 MaxClients 200 Thoughts?
