You can use the server-status page provided by mod_status plus the "top" display on your server in combination to figure out what resources are running out (memory, processor, httpd children, etc). Depending on what kind of content you are serving, you may also be running out of other types of resources like database connections. That could certainly make your server appear to freeze. > [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the > MaxClients setting > > So I changed the MaxClients from 100 to 256. > This will increase the dying time from 10 minutes till 20 minutes but > does not solve the problem. When I check the apache status I see this: You should increase MaxClients as far as you can subject to the condition that you have enough physical memory to hold all the child processes.
