Dear Friends.
One of my Webserver running with following configurations. Processor : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5430 @ 2.66GHz Memory : 4Giga Apache : 2.2.3 (Installed from Binary) MPM : Prefork Some of output from the server is as follows (Almost All Time ..). ps -ef | grep httpd | wc -l == 45 netstat -tn | wc -l == 1221 netstat -tn | grep ESTABLISHED | grep 443 | wc -l == 29 My Prefork configuration is as follows... <IfModule prefork.c> StartServers 8 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 20 ServerLimit 251 MaxClients 251 MaxRequestsPerChild 4000 </IfModule> My problem is sometimes server is shoot up with heavy load and hangs. I need to restart the Apache to settle down the load to normal. This is Moodle installed server. Students uploading Assignments, checking for timetable, will attend Quiz and online exams. MySQL is also running in the same server. I suspect Apache is causing the load problem. Please recommend a perfect Prefork configuration on the above scenario. Thanks in Advance. Greetings ....
