| Hello
Where all these settings are in the server?
Which files?
How can i adjust them for a high traffic forum with server specs:
# 2x Intel Xeon Quad 5405
# 12GB Ram
# 4 SAS Disks in Raid 10
# 1.000 Mbit port Unshared
I am using Apache and Mpm Worker and Cpanel.
--------------------------------------
KeepAlive=on
KeepAliveTimeout=6
MaxKeepAliveRequests=1000
--------------------------------------
ServerLimit 60
MaxClients 60
--------------------------------------
StartServers 30
MinSpareServers 30
MaxSpareServers 30
MaxRequestsPerChild 1000
Thank you

| this is httpd.conf settings. if you have dedicated server you can edit your apache configuration file which is httpd.conf .

| What do you think is a good value for my "MaxKeepAliveRequests" ?
Thank you

| Never configured for mpm worker before. My experience is limited to prefork.
The options you have quoted in the first post are all related to mpm_prefork not mpm_worker. For example: maxspareservers is replaced by maxsparethreads in mpm_worker. Are you sure your using mpm_worker? Do an httpd -V as root to find out.
Nevertheless I see a few things wrong here.
1000 seems to much for maxKeepaliverequests. Perhaps a few hundred instead. Like say 200?
Max clients and server limit should be 100 per GB of memory in a control panel-less setup. You should go with 90/gb so it comes to around 1000.
If your allocating significant amount of RAM for mysql query caching I would reduce maxclients accordingly.
I would leave startservers, minspareservers and maxspareservers at the default value.

| Yes it is mpm worker.
Where is the file with mpm worker settings?
Maybe i was looking in another file.
Thank you

| Hello,
you need to put this in your httpd.conf for optimization
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 15
MinSpareServers 15
MaxSpareServers 20
StartServers 15
MaxClients 256
MaxRequestsPerChild 100
HostnameLookups Off

| No that is for mpm prefork and its a pretty bad config for a 12gb 8 core server.
To the OP you make changes to apache config from within cpanel:
http://www.cpanel.net/documentation/...irectives.html
First make sure its mpm_worker by loggin in via ssh and doing a httpd -V.
Find the section for and add your changes there.

| Hello
For mpm worker you can add this
# worker MPM
# StartServers: initial number of server processes to start
# MaxClients: maximum number of simultaneous client connections
# MinSpareThreads: minimum number of worker threads which are kept spare
# MaxSpareThreads: maximum number of worker threads which are kept spare
# ThreadsPerChild: constant number of worker threads in each server process
# MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum number of requests a server process serves
StartServers 2
MaxClients 150
MinSpareThreads 25
MaxSpareThreads 75
ThreadsPerChild 25
MaxRequestsPerChild 0

| Max clients is too low. With 150 he will use only around 1.5 - 2 GB RAM at most. Since he has 12 GB ram he should keep max clients at a higher figure. Perhaps 1000.
Also maxrequestsperchild should be a finite number to prevent wastage of RAM. Perhaps 2000.

you can use these setting so your server will not take high load.
StartServers 8

# Fastcgi configuration for PHP5
LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so
MaxRequestsPerProcess 500
#MaxProcessCount 75
#IPCCommTimeout 240
#IdleTimeout 240
Are these ok or i must adjust them?
