Hi there, I have a server running on Apache. I also have a script that uses a PHP function sleep(10); PHP: This sleep function seems to clog up Apache. This is what apache says: Current Time: Monday, 01-Dec-2008 01:57:54 EST Restart Time: Tuesday, 25-Nov-2008 10:50:32 EST Parent Server Generation: 6 Server uptime: 5 days 15 hours 7 minutes 22 seconds Total accesses: 26158978 - Total Traffic: 65.0 GB CPU Usage: u196.92 s17.72 cu0 cs0 - .0441% CPU load 53.8 requests/sec - 140.1 kB/second - 2668 B/request 256 requests currently being processed, 0 idle workers WWKCWWCKCKCWKCKCKKWWKWWKWWWWKWWKKWWWKKWWWKWCKWCKWWKWKKWCKWWKCKKW KCWWWKWWKCKWWWCWKKKWKKKKRWCKKKKWKKKKWKKWWWKWWWCKKKKWWKKWWKKKCCWK CKWWWKKWWKWKWKWWCWWKKWKWKWKKKKKWKKKKWWKKWWKKKKWKWWKWKWKKKWCWWKKW KWWWWKWKWWKWWRKKCWKWWCWCWWKKWKCKKKKKCCWWRWKWWWWWKWRKKWKWKKWCWKKC Code (markup): The max requests (maxcleints) are limited to the default value if 256, unless i recompile to a higher number. All the requests (90% of them) are the same pages that have the sleep function on it. So as far as i see apache is holding the page and waiting for the script to finish on all these requests. Is there any way i can lower these requests keeping the sleep function intact? I just want to make sure i dont drop any new connections to apache while my pages including sleep are working. May some apache configuration? Talker.
