I've set the apache confs to use the following StartServers 512 ServerLimit 1024 MaxClients 1024 MinSpareServers 256 MaxSpareServers 512 MaxRequestsPerChild 100000 I reran the test with a smaller load (350 users as opposed to 1250). It didn't hit the server limit but I still get this error: [Wed May 23 07:30:54 2007] [error] (70014)End of file found: ajp_ilink_receive() can't receive header [Wed May 23 07:30:54 2007] [error] ajp_read_header: ajp_ilink_receive failed [Wed May 23 07:30:54 2007] [error] (120006)APR does not understand this error code: proxy: read response failed from (null) (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) Any other suggestions? ----- Original Message ---- From: Jim Jagielski <jim@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 12:51:11 PM Subject: Re: Re: High volume issues using mod_proxy (balancer,http,ajp) on Apache 2.2.4 across multiple tomcat 5.5.23 clusters - Configuration issues or bugs? Some pointers: MaxRequestsPerChild 512 This means that after an Apache child process handles 512 requests, it will be killed off (and a replacement will need to be forked). With 45+ million request per hour, that's a lot of forking. Min/MaxSpareServers 512 You are telling Apache that you want between 512 and 512 idle Apache processes. If you have more, kill them off; less, add more. Can you see the issue with this? :) (actually, Apache internally tries to handle this misconfig by setting Max to 513, but still, that's a REAL NARROW BAND) On May 23, 2007, at 1:41 PM, justin wright wrote: > When I use the default settings apache immediately complains that > it reaches the server limit.
