Hello, all - This is a subject that's been discussed on the list before, but an answer never was quite found. I've got a rather busy site, and often times I get some of the following pieces of info in my log: [Mon Jul 11 12:33:17 2005] [info] server seems busy, (you may need to increase StartServers, or Min/MaxSpareServers), spawning 8 children, there are 55 idle, and 278 total children [Mon Jul 11 12:33:18 2005] [info] server seems busy, (you may need to increase StartServers, or Min/MaxSpareServers), spawning 16 children, there are 60 idle, and 286 total children Something to that effect. I was told once that StartServers should be rather high for a busy site. StartServers is set to 64. I was also told that MinSpareServers and MaxSpareServers should be relative to StartServers, being two's compliment, but it would take some time to figure out the exact combination of the three items. MaxClients is set to 1024, with some httpd.h editry. The machine is a P4 2.8 w/1G RAM. It's not the most ballsy, but I know it can handle the load. So I guess I'm wondering now, what would be some more appropriate settings, so that I do not risk clients being cut off when they visit the sites. Of course, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -dant --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
