- ulimit is a bash variable so it only applies to the current bash you are working in. I don't now what your startup script looks like, but try to type that first (ulimit -n 65000) commandline and after that from the same bash start Apache.
- Do a lsof | wc -l when Apache is running. What's the count? - I will not send you my config or machine specs. You can send yours and I might take a look at it. ________________________________ Van: linux guru [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: woensdag 14 maart 2007 11:28 Aan: users@httpd.apache.org Onderwerp: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache Examples Extreme Web Servers On 3/14/07, Jan van den Berg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: - My platform currently hosts 4381 Vhosts (and counting) this is of course loadbalanced over multiple servers, for performance and redundancy issues but they all share the _ SAME_ Apache binary + config (yes there is only one on a centralized storage). - Everything from source.

Because this is legacy code with proven stability and I don't need the features of 2.2 (yet) - Yes, linux-guru you are probably hitting your open files maximum. I had this problem too. But I wrote my own logger that uses syslog-ng to centralize my logfiles (I might put it up one of these days). But for now you might want to start Apache with "ulimit -n 65000" I have this in startup, but it is not enough sometimes after i add this the apache also dont start. - You say you don't have MySQL running. How come there is a MySQL socket for PHP: MYSQL_SOCKET /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock? We have different mysql servers that the applications (php) run on this server connects. - Besides that linux-guru, you have a ton of open ports running on your server. Might want to check that.... You would probably only need 21, 80 (open) en 22 (filtered). Have you ever tried to connect to other ports than 21 and 80 ? or 443 ? I am not sure about that :) * what kind of storage do you use? * is it possible for you to send me yor httpd.conf and machine tech spec.s Cheers, Jan ________________________________ Van: linux guru [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: dinsdag 13 maart 2007 22:32 Aan: users@httpd.apache.org Onderwerp: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache Examples Extreme Web Servers Does anybody host about 2000-2500 virtual sites in single server? Which version of Apache do you prefer 2.0 or 2.2 for hosting thousands of websites? 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.

You could check the php config and other details at http://82.222.170.52/i.php We are using Redhat Enterprise Linux 4, we are installing apache , php , and modules from source. The servers are extremly powerful and does not have other services like mysql or mail server. only apache serving. Please contact me directly if you think you could help. Thanks.
