RE: Apache hangs when maximum connection beyond 2000

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thanks Prasanna for your valuable feedback. So you recommend to change the Serverlimit to 41 and Threads per child is 50 in worker?

My goal is to set up this server for serving around 2000 connections simultaneously with  minimum load. Any more changes to be needed ?

 

Thanks again.

Also in prefork, MaxClients is 256 (ServerLimit also) which means at max only 256 processes can run and serve 256 connections simultaneously. In your case 2000 well exceeds this. (i personally suggest worker rather than prefork since for 2000 connections even if you change the settings, processes running in the system would shoot up unneccessarily taking more memroy).

In which model your apache is running now?

Hello Everybody

 

I have a webserver running on Dell Poweredge Xeon Processor with 4GB Ram. There is only one website a learning management system called

Moodle. Configuration of Apache is as follows.

 

This is the Prefork Module.

<IfModule prefork.c>

StartServers       8

MinSpareServers    5

MaxSpareServers   20

ServerLimit      256

MaxClients       256

MaxRequestsPerChild  4000

</IfModule>

 

 

This is the Worker Module

 

<IfModule worker.c>

StartServers         2

ServerLimit          21

MaxClients          2000 (This was before 256,I changed to 2000)

MinSpareThreads     25

MaxSpareThreads     75

ThreadsPerChild     25

MaxRequestsPerChild  0

</IfModule>

 

When the output    “netstat -tn | wc -l “ goes beyond the 2000 the load of the server will go high say above 100 and server will hang down.

I need to avoid this. So what will be the configuration to be changed to increase the client connection above this limit. Because students

are accessing this site across the country simultaneously from NAT mode.

 

Please help,Thanks in advance.
