To move MaxClients above ServerLimit you need to stop/start instead of restart. > On the other hand, why on server status appears 1024 slots if I have > the MaxClients directive set to 512? Apache will create up to MaxClients (512) but has room to track 1024 of them -- this is what allows you to scale MaxClients up during a restart. This space is not resized during a restart. -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
