thanks for all the replies ..i have a better idea ..sorta :) earlier i caught my server with 18 active connections running on only 2 processes(18 idle servers) running Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) mod_perl/1.21 AuthMySQL/2.20 FrontPage/4.0.4.3 ..i set it to start 20 servers, max 250 connections, and ulimit is set to 125 processes.
im just curious cuz I approved one of my customer's requests to post somethign to slashdot.org and i wanted to at least TRY to make sure my machine doesnt crash if what he posts is approved by slashdot and mass geeks swarm my server :) nate On Thu, 20 Jan 2000, Onno Ebbinge wrote: Onno >At 10:11 PM 1/19/00 -0800, aphro wrote: Onno >>i was wondeirng if anyone knew approx how many connection 1 apache process Onno >>could handle? just 1? or is it more..
