Igor Cicimo said: >So do what the error says: increase the ServerLimit I've tried that a lot of times. Maybe I am doing it wrong. My understanding is that the "<IfModule prefork.c>" section of httpd.conf is where this directive is read when using the prefork module. When I change this value, the error message I get sometimes reflects the value I have put in. I have tried various values for ServerLimit and MaxClients, but no joy. My site has one gig memory and 2 gigs burstable. As I said in my original post: << Here is the prefork section of httpd.conf <IfModule prefork.c> StartServers 8 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 20 ServerLimit 256 MaxClients 256 MaxRequestsPerChild 150 </IfModule> >> If I should be setting the ServerLimit some other way, I would be very happy to hear what that is. I am currently working on switching the site from php to html so I can use the threaded model and get rid of the php overhead from the server. I currently use perl programs to generate most of the php code for the site anyway. I am switching the code to C because I am not that fluent in perl and I spend too much time looking things up. But if I can solve this problem some other way, I might reconsider that plan.
