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.
There are 2 things I would do first of all :
1) try to get an idea of the time needed, on average, to process 1
request. You can get this in the access log, with the parameters
explained here :
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_log_config.html#formats
(%D parameter)
(While you are at it, also add the %k parameter, it will be useful)
2) change the following setting :
KeepAliveTimeout 15
to
KeepAliveTimeout 2
and look at the results.
Subjectively, I have the impression that the number of Apache processes
(MaxServers 1024), is a total overkill for 20 requests/seconds, unless
your requests take a very long time to be serviced.
But we'll see when there are some numbers.
