If yes, then:
yes, 426 is very safe as far as RAM goes (as I mentioned before, 12MB is in excess of the per-process RAM requirements, so I expect you could go much higher; unfortunately I don't have clear instructions on how to use pmap or other tools to find the real per-process RAM requirements) also confirm that 12M * 426 is less than the available swap space > > (i) I have to make sure ServerLimit is also = 426 [As per your presentation > for MPM prefork] ? y > (ii) Make sure backend server node (tomcat AJP port) can accept 426 > concurrent requests ? the big picture for that part of the presentation is to consider the relationship between number of connections hitting Apache and number of clients hitting the backend (e.g., Tomcat) if every connection that hits Apache gets forwarded to Tomcat, you should align the capacity of Apache and Tomcat fairly closely if only some connections that hit Apache get forwarded to Tomcat, you'd expect that the capacity of Apache should be much larger than that of Tomcat --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
