Hello All, This is regarding production servers. Recently Apache server hit MaxClient settings; resulting in crash of sites. However, sites was back to normal after restarting Apache.
I read about MaxClient settings and increase it from 200 to 250 (as I read somewhere that 256 is a limit). Since then sites are working fine. But still I see average concurrent request on Apache is 180-200 which sometime goes to 220 as well. This is threatening, as we are planning to put more sites live on same Apache. Therefore, I am considering to increase MaxClient in order to handle "at-least" 600 concurrent request. I will be grateful if somebody can assist me in setting the right values for ServerLimit, MaxClient, MinSpareServers and MaxSpareServers. Also, what maximum values I can have for MaxClients (*want to know max concurrent users Apache can handle.*) *Machine Specs are*: *Manufacturer:* Sun *Model:* T5240 *Operating System: *Solaris 10 10/08 s10s_u6wos_07b SPARC *CPU(s):* 2x UltraSPARC-T2+ @1415 MHz; 128 Cores 128 Threads *Memory:* 32544 MB *Apache Version*: *Server version:* Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) *Server built:* Jan 5 2009 22:19:26 *Existing MaxClient Settings*: <IfModule prefork.c> StartServers 8 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 20 MaxClients 250 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 </IfModule> Note: I am not good in Solaris/*.nix commands :( Bye, Viki.
