Re: Restart or Reload after changing MaxClients and ServerLimit

["Cohen, Laurence" <lcohen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

While reloading httpd did increase MaxClients to 400 as specified, it did not increase ServerLimit to 400 as specified.  What is worse is that since ServerLimit remained at 256, this caused MaxClients to be reduced to 256 since ServerLimit seems to be the hard limit for MaxClients.

Even more frustrating is that when I did a service httpd restart, it not only did not increase ServerLimit to 400, but it threw an error that the attempt to increase ServerLimit during a restart was ignored.

Any ideas why I cannot increase the ServerLimit?

Thanks,

Laurence Cohen

Hi,

I need to increase my httpd server's MaxClients and ServerLimit.  Can I just do a

service httpd reload

to load the new settings?

Or do I need to do a

service httpd restart

to load the new settings?

This is on a production server with active users, so obviously the former is preferable.

Thanks,

Larry Cohen
