Apache tuning question

2004-10-04 Thread Randy Paries
Hello,

I thought there was an apache mailing list, but the mailing list page points
to this one(as well as php and some others.)

So hopefully I will not get flamed for this question.

I have a rh9 box with apache 2 and tomcat 5

The apache server gets about  1.2M hits a day

on average i have about 110 httpd running when i do a ps -ef | grep httpd |
wc -l, but on Monday mornings my busiest I have around 225 httpd running

I am trying to determine what are the best setting for my prefork MPM
settings.

I am getting conflicting suggestions on MaxClients 
on the RH pages it says::
However, it is not recommended that the value for MaxClients exceeds 256
when using the prefork MPM. 
BUT on other pages is says that on busy sites i should have MaxClients  512
and ServerLimit set to 1024
Not sure if my server is considered busy. I am tending to think yes.

these are my current settings:
IfModule prefork.c
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers   5
MaxSpareServers  10
ServerLimit   400
MaxClients400
MaxRequestsPerChild  0
/IfModule

Thanks for any suggestions

Hi,
There IS an Apache mailing list: httpd-user, as described on
http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html.  Since your question has more to
do with the httpd component and not as much with Tomcat or the
connectors, I'd ask there first if I were you ;)
