Based on the error, increase ThreadsPerChild.

You can also look at mod_ratelimit.

Hi Team,

Can you please suggest some Apache configuration settings to fix the below issue.

I have below configurations:

<IfModule mpm_worker_module>

StartServers        1

    MinSpareThreads     151

    MaxSpareThreads     300

    ThreadsPerChild     300

    ThreadLimit         300

    MaxRequestWorkers   300



    MaxConnectionsPerChild   0

</IfModule>

<IfModule mpm_event_module>

### Provide alternate settings instead [PTC]

    StartServers        1

    MinSpareThreads     151

    MaxSpareThreads     300

    ThreadsPerChild     300

    ThreadLimit         300

    MaxRequestWorkers   300

    MaxConnectionsPerChild   0

</IfModule>

<IfModule mpm_winnt_module>



    ThreadsPerChild     300



    MaxConnectionsPerChild   0

</IfModule>

Other timeout settings are defaults value, no changes.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Team,

We are facing rate limit issue in default Apache configuration, can you please suggest some solutions around it? Is this statement correct that OOTB apache can’t handle such situation, you need to rely on Firewall or some 3^rd party software for DOS prevention.

Thanks and Regards,
