You have been subscribed to a public bug: I'm in process to configure an apache under ubuntu 8.10 to catch some serious load. To test the server I run "ab" with -n 100000 -c 10000. I saw apache childs segfault and was wondering why I never saw more than about 130 childs....
I then stumbled over this article: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46467 which suggests: echo 1024 > /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_instances where 1024 is some value larger than MaxClients, then it works. Further information: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0812.0/01183.html After applying the setting, my apache spaws the configured 5000 childs and no longer segfaults ** Affects: apache2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Apache segfaults under load and can't span more than 130 childs https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/327306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
