Hi, Thanks for the reply.. Another information is, when the load test is being conducted we are constantly getting the below error_log file of Apache [info]server seems busy ( you may need to increase startServer, min/maxspareservers) spawning 8 children, there are 0 idle & total 237 total children What is the optimal value we need to set for StartServer/MinSpareServer/MaxSpareServer for below hardware configuration 2 (900 MHz) CPU/8GB RAM/4GB SWAP Srikanth On 25/09/06, Joshua Slive <joshua@xxxxxxxx> wrote:

But in real world conditions, it is highly unusual for apache to be cpu-constrained in any version. For benchmarks, it all depends on how you construct your tests.
