Re: Getting "connection refused" Apache 2.4

I always recommend to specify a fixed ServerLimit Value, if you have 500 processes but you allow 150 clients, I think you are just filling a backlog of connections which are not attended until you get to a limit of backlogged connections.

Do you have specific errors in apache? Check the server config context error log first.

Also later if you have correctly configured your mpm for the amount of real clients you will have,  it is worth a try to check ulimit values "ulimit -a" for root. Also consider if you start apache using "sudo", your ulimit values will be used instead of root's.

This is what is in the extra/httpd-mpm.conf:

# prefork MPM

# StartServers: number of server processes to start

# MinSpareServers: minimum number of server processes which are kept spare

# MaxSpareServers: maximum number of server processes which are kept spare

# MaxClients: maximum number of server processes allowed to start

# MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum number of requests a server process serves

<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>

    StartServers          5

    MinSpareServers       5

    MaxSpareServers      10

    MaxClients          150

    MaxRequestsPerChild   0

I meant MaxSpareServers and MinSpareServers here, *Threads are not
relevant for prefork.
