Hi, We are using Apache server version 1.3.37 on Unix, and we occasionally get a lot of https connections at the same time (or thereabouts) to some CGI's. Some of these https connections are getting a timeout, and in particular, a connection to a CGI that we use monitor things with to this site from another site (done by us). We use cURL for this monitor, and it says "curl: (28) SSL connection timeout". It is somewhat of a connection blast (https) that happens here, I'm sure. I want to be able to better handle these blasts. They certainly do not happen very often, but when they do I would like to do whatever I can to better manage them. If it is as simple as bumping up the Min/Max and Start Servers that would be great, but something tells be it may be more of an volume issue with https/SSL. Please advise what changes I can make to the Apache configuration (etc.). In regards, I have my httpd.conf as: Timeout 300 Timeout 300 MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 KeepAliveTimeout 15 MinSpareServers 15 MaxSpareServers 25 StartServers 15 MaxClients 150 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 A
