Re: Help on MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting

["Arnab Ganguly" <aganguly01@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
What I saw was the ServerLimit value = 2 when I kept I saw one root and two daemon process.And among the two daemon it is the only one daemon handles all my request.So my requirement is met.But when I replace the value of ServerLimit = 1 the above behavior is also same.

The other config was followed was same as below

StartServers 1
MaxClients 25
MinSpareThreads 25
MaxSpareThreads  25
ThreadsPerChild  25
MaxRequestsPerChild 0.

The minspare threads I will reduce it to 5 or to some lower 
value.But I still get the error as "MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting ".I can't increase the value of MaxClients ad the number of active child process has to be one also the Threadsperchild has to be 25 as this is the max value in Unix.

So is there any other way I can subside the error also my requirement is met.I am new to apache and sorry for some basic qustions.
Thanks in advance.

Your config is a little confused.

Why do you have ServerLimit 2 if you only want one process?

You certainly don't want MinSpareThreads 25, since apache is always
going to want to keep 25 IDLE children, which obviously isn't possible
under your setup. MinSpareThreads should be set very low.

I also don't understand why you say you can't change ThreadsPerChild.
