Hi everyone,

We recently configured a new front and backend (Apache 2.26 -> Tomcat 6) with the AJP connector. It seems to be working great, but when we began load testing we realized we had to tweak it a little, the machines are quad cores with 16 gigs running on Linux.

My question is how many threads are available by default to Apache? I discovered Tomcat had only 20 threads by default, so I increased this to (maxThreads="256"), as far as I understand this is the default for Apache, is this correct? is this setting optimal for the hardware? The site is not very busy, but I would prefer that is is a little scalable to support at least +- 300 concurrent sessions. Is there anything else I should consider to allow these servers to perform better on the new hardware?

Thanks for your help,
Peter

PS: The configuration:

<!-- Apache 2.26-->
  ProxyPass          /approot             ajp://mydomain.com:8009/approot
  ProxyPassReverse      /approot          ajp://mydomain.com:8009/approot


<!-- AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 in Tomcat 6 -->
<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3"
     connectionTimeout="20000"
     enableLookups="false"
     redirectPort="8443"
     maxThreads="256"/>
