Dear all, We have a web application with about 5000 hits per second. The apache server is running on Red Hat AS 4.x with version 2.0.52 and prefork MPM. The question I have is, how I should configure prefork to manage this amount of requests. I had something like that in mind: <IfModule prefork.c> StartServers 100 MinSpareServers 10 MaxSpareServers 10 ServerLimit 8000 MaxClients 5120 MaxRequestsPerChild 2000 </IfModule> As the requests are only some kind of "ping" do I also plan to disable KeepAlive. Do you think this will work, or do you have any other suggestion? Thanks and all the best, Si --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
