Hi all I'm dealing with a new problem for me. I'm running an Apache web server with PHP and a MySQL database backend. The apps are doing fine so far and up until recently everything worked just fine. About a few days ago, a strange phenomenon started. I normally have around 20- 50 Apache processes running. I now see the number of processes jumping up to 400 within minutes. The MaxClients set to 400 and the Apache is stopping to respond - the users can't access the page anymore. I'm using Apache httpd server version 2.0.59 and PHP 4.4.6. httpd.conf says: KeepAlice On MaxKeepAliveRequests 10 KeepAliveTimeout 10 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 10 StartServers 5 ServerLimit 500 MaxClients 400 MaxRequestsPerChild 500 When I check with 'netstat -an' on my Linux box I see lets of "TIME_WAIT" connections. Might this have to do something with the problem? Any ideas or approaches on how to figure out what might cause the problem? Am I dealing with some sort of DoS? thx for the help reto --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
