Hi André Warnier, I modified the ajp connection configuation in wasce, such as ajp maxthreads, but it seems that it's not the reason for the "could not get free endpoint for worker" error. I set a series pool size and test the differences between them. (one node case) pool_size errors 25-50 5927 50-100 275 80-160 828 100-200 2 100-200 45 80-160 132 the test results show that the performance turns to be better when pool_size increase. but when I add 2 nodes, the pool_size if 80~160 for each one (160~320 total) the httpd server occurs many 503 errors. I think maybe the httpd server could not hold so many pool size (cache?). I want to increase the httpd's ThreadsPerChild. but I found it cannot set larger than 400 (this ThreadLimit is seted too). when >400, the httpd error_log output: "[alert] (12)Cannot allocate memory: apr_thread_create: unable to create worker thread". btw, I'm using IBM HTTP SERVER 7 (whose kernal is based on apache.2.2). And the Machine for httpd server is PPC (4cpus & 32G RAM), the usage for httpd server is very low. I'm trying to fix this problem, and further progress I will post to you all. thanks for concern about this. 2009/3/24 André Warnier <aw@xxxxxxxxxx>: > 张文东 wrote: >> >> Hi all. >> >> I'm using httpd 2.2 and websphere application community edition >> (wasce) 2.1.1 (you may treat it as tomcat if you are not familiar with >> wasce). >> My goal is: the httpd server delivers 3000 requests per second to the >> wasce servers.
