In Apache Status,the "requests currently being processed",can it be changed?

[baalchina <baalchina@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Everyone!

 

I have a Apache 2.2 server running ab php5, mysql forum,with CentOS 4.4.

 

Most of my visitors are from our intranet.

 

The problem is, sometimes, the pages is hardly to open,and sometimes it opens very fast.

In apache status,I noticed this:

 

============================================

Current Time: Saturday, 24-Nov-2007 15:59:38 CST

Restart Time: Friday, 23-Nov-2007 21:35:28 CST

Parent Server Generation: 4

Server uptime: 18 hours 24 minutes 10 seconds

Total accesses: 2798113 - Total Traffic: 74.8 GB

CPU Usage: u520.45 s77.28 cu0 cs0 - .902% CPU load

42.2 requests/sec - 1.2 MB/second - 28.0 kB/request

150 requests currently being processed, 0 idle workers

============================================

 

The last line, requests,I found it always is 150.For example ,150 currently,and 0 idle,or 138 currently ,12 idle.

 

The cpu and memory load of my server is low, so I think the problem is the "REQUESTS".

 

How can I change the max requests of my server?

 

I changed my prefork.c to a very large number,for example:

 

====================================

<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers         100
MinSpareServers      100
MaxSpareServers     200
ServerLimit       12000
MaxClients         8000
MaxRequestsPerChild  12000
</IfModule>
====================================

it's is so large,isn't?

 

My Apache configuration:

====================================

[root@bbs ~]# /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -V
Server version: Apache/2.2.4 (Unix)
Server built:   Sep 29 2007 13:03:55

 -D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log"
 -D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="conf/mime.types"
 -D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"
=============================================

 

so,what is the problem? and how can I change the max requests of my Apache server?

 

Thank you very much!
