Hello, all -

I've recently seen an error that I have not come across before, and it
is as follows:

[Sat Apr  2 19:16:57 2005] [info] server seems busy, (you may need to
increase StartServers, or Min/MaxSpareServers), spawning 8 children,
there are 23 idle, and 85 total children

I understand it, however, it doesn't seem to matter what I set
StartServers, MinSpareServers, or MaxSpareServers to.  I still get these
errors, regardless of what I change them to.

I noticed that Apache only spawns new servers in two's compliment
fashion, so I've changed these values accordingly:

MinSpareServers 32
MaxSpareServers 48
StartServers 64




Joshua -

I understand what the settings mean. My reasoning behind these settings is that Apache would be able to quicker respond to a request if it already had a child waiting for the connection. If for some reason this site got an additional 40 hits in one instant, Apache would deal with those by sending them to children, and then when that is established, it would create more children in anticipation for new connections.

Regardless, where might I be able to find more information about this error? I'm very curious now.

Thanks
