Hi falko, If you are talking about the apache2.conf in /etc/apache2 (Debian Sarge) than I have this set for MaxClients I also have:
This one is the right one: Code: <IfModule prefork.c> StartServer 50 MinSpareServer 50 MaxSpareServer 200 MaxClients 2000 MaxRequestsPerChild 1 </IfModule> Either set MaxClients to 256 (or lower), or add Code: ServerLimit 2000 to the code above. But I doubt that you need such a high value, and probably your server will go down if you ever reach it because you don't have enough memory...

hi..im not sure im in the right thread, but im sure u guys can help me with my settings. currently i have two webserver (load balancing) each with 16GB of RAM. Each server configured with 8 Virtual IPs. One Virt IP will host 20 websites.So total of 160 websites per server, with both servers configured the same. This is my 1st tier. My 2nd tier is running on JBOSS App. Im using Apache 2.2.9 with prefork. This is my latest configuration. StartServers 8 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 20 ServerLimit 256 MaxClients 256 MaxRequestsPerChild 4000 We projecting around 100 users per website, so 20 websites x 100 users = 2000 users per apache instance. I dont think this is the best value, and highly appreciate any suggestions from u guys. cheers, Mie
