I was looking at a typical apr_thread_create failure for creating a large # of threads on a system, and the only solution was to increase roots RLIMIT_NPROC as opposed to the (httpd.conf configured) "User" limits
But every manpage I read says that after the setuid(), we should have the new users limits, which means only tuning those limits should be necessary. Can anyone explain/translate/debunk? I'm doing a single child with 1100 threads. I toggle root/nobody having 1000/1200 available maxuprocs on an idle system. It works when root has 1200 and nobody has 1000, and not the other way around. -- Eric Covener cove...@gmail.com
