Hi André Our server is handling around 20 requests per second. Please note that this is not a single site. There are many sites that are hosted on this server. As requests to host new site keep coming in, we keep reloading the virtual host config through a graceful restart.
Here are my KeepAlive settings: KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 KeepAliveTimeout 15 Unfortunately, I can't answer why the MaxRequestsPerChild was modified as it was done by the earlier sysad and there is no documentation left around by him. I have been reading up a few articles on tuning the apache performance and am planning to change them as per the requirements of the server. Please let me know if there is any other config/statistics I can provide which will help in debugging the issue. Thanks much for your time, Chandranshu On Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 3:47 PM, André Warnier <a...@ice-sa.com> wrote: > Chandranshu . wrote: > ... > Just to help in getting an idea of your site : > - how many requests is your site typically handling (per second, per > minute..) ? > - what is your KeepAlive setting ? > > and, why did you change the default for MaxRequestsPerChild ? > any particular reason, or just for the sake of it ? > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project. > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org > " from the digest: users-digest-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org > >
