I am looking for suggestions on how to easily cap apache vhost traffic so that requests after a certain amount of bandwidth has been used are denied. Thanks.
You dont need to cap bandwidth usage, rather than you might cap apache process limit. Just edit "/usr/local/apache/conf/includes/pre_main_global.conf" And add this line :
I am actually looking to cap bandwidth usage (in GB) for a project not number of simultaneous connections/processes, etc. I am looking to maybe host some sites for other people on a server and want to cap the amount of bandwidth each of those sites can use, I have heard of something called mod bandwidth, would that work and how easy is it to use? Thanks.
mod_bandwidth does not have any connection with this. You can cap the total bandwidth with root cpanel only.
this would be a dedicated server though I would prefer to not use cpanel but I might if I have to, is there and free way to do this with root access, I think virtualmin might but I have not had the best luck with virtualmin.
