Dear Mailing List:
I am relatively new to the Orion webserver, but have had lots of exposure to
Apache and it's configuration files. 3 months ago I moved my website, to
it's own server, with Orion installed. Orion ran great for 3 months. We ran
3 separate web-site's off of it with their own application-deployments. This
past week, one website has had peak load times, where we reach over one
million views a day, over 100 000 page impressions during peak hours. It
usually happens at around 12pm PST every day. When this happens, Orion stops
taking any requests. Only on the one application (web site), the other 2
websites running off of the same orion, the same machine, are fine. The
extremely busy one just yields a white screen, waiting for a response, no
error or Page Not Found appears, and no System.out logging appears from my
servlets, nor does anything show up in the error.log. Even static html's are
not loaded during this time. Although only one the one web site, the other 2
on the same machine are fine.
The behaviour is triggered during peak times of over 100 000 page views per
hour. Orion continues in this stasis manner (no response, error, or output)
until it is restarted. The system has 1 gig of RAM, and is running RH6.0 and
the Sun JVM 1.3 HotSpot. The -server and -native java parameters are on. Max
Connections is 1000, timeout is 10 000.
Any ideas? It's starting to become difficult to keep monitoring it and
restarting it every day, sometimes twice a day on very busy days.
Thanks in advance.
