Package: apache2-common Version: 2.0.54-5 We have set the following worker configuration to be able to process large number of requests on a https proxy server:
<IfModule worker.c> StartServers 2 MaxClients 1024 MinSpareThreads 25 MaxSpareThreads 75 ThreadsPerChild 64 ThreadLimit 128 ServerLimit 32 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 </IfModule> under really high load... servers got into trouble. The following error log is then generated: [error] (120013)APR does not understand this error code: Cannot open SSLSessionCache DBM file `/var/run/apache2/ssl_scache' for reading (fetch) and then the disk IO comes to limit (check with vmstat). The following default configuration in /etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf SSLSessionCache shmcb:/var/run/apache2/ssl_scache(512000) instead of SSLSessionCache dbm:/var/run/apache2/ssl_scache would have help us to avoid downtime on our servers - in fact the time to understand why the servers cannot server requests and change this parameter I'm running Debian Sarge 3.1 - up-to-date - with kernel-image-2.4.27-2-686-smp $uname -a Linux elbe 2.4.27-2-686-smp #1 SMP Wed Aug 17 10:05:21 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux and libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 Hope this may help other administrators to avoid such troubles. -- Yves Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
