Trying to limit connections per virtual host with mod_cband

["Chirouze Olivier" <olivier.chirouze@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to use mod_cband... but can't manage to!

I've tailed down my conf file to the most simple case with just one
virtual host.
What I'm trying to achieve is quite simple: I just want to limit the
number of concurrent connections per virtual host (a "MaxClient" at the
virtualhost level) and I think this is one of the many features of
cband.

How do I test this? Just call multiple times a page that takes very long
to anwser: during all this time, for each click, a connection on this
virtual host stays open on Apache. (thanks a lot to Georgi
Chorbadzhiyski for pointing me to /status?notable that proves the
connections are open on the right virtual host).

The thing is, on cband-status, I see some rps used, but never a single
connection! (thanks to cband status page: /cband-status). "Current
connection" always stays at 0. And, in fact, the limit is never used. I
set it to 2 and can have more than 10 concurrent connections. So, in a
word, it doesn't work as expected.

However, I see some "remote client", but always one. The virtual host is
correct, but "Connections Limit/Current" always says "1/0". I don't
understand how a line can be here with zero connection?

I'm kind of lost after looking around for days and trying all I can
think of (simplifying the config file, unactivating modules, changing
order of LoadModule, using OpenSta, etc...)

I'm using mod_rewrite and mod_proxy and I think that might be the pb.
But there is an example with mod_rewrite on cband homepage so I suppose
there is no incompatibility!

Please... Help ;-)
