It was thus said that the Great linux guru once stated: > Does anybody host about 2000-2500 virtual sites in single server?
I've hosted about 1000+ sites on a single server, and have faced some of the problems mentioned herein. > Which version of Apache do you prefer 2.0 or 2.2 for hosting thousands of > websites? No opinion on this. I had no problems with Apache 1.3 and only upgraded to 2.2 when one of the sites needed a reverse proxy. > Do you have examples or some experiment about the httpd.conf for this kind > of servers? > > Have you ever noticed an error like this below; > > apachectl stop, OK > apachectl start, No responce. FAIL > > open the file which has virtual host records, inc.vhost.httpd.conf put # > sign > start of 30-40 lines save and close the file. > > apachectl start, OK > > open the file again and remove the #'s > > apachectl graceful, OK > > Please help :) We are getting mad more and more everyday. Sounds like you are hitting the limit of the number of open files per process. One thing I did was to have a single error log for everything. When that was exhausted, I increased the number of allowable open files by adding "ulimit -n 8192" to the Apache startup script. If that got exhausted, I would have upped the actual operating system limit (under Linux, use "sysctl -a" to list all OS tunable parameters; you use sysctl to set these parameters as well). -spc --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
