Apache MaxClients

Can anyone tell me how to go about raising the maxclients on apache?

I'm not sure what all you need to know, but i am running CentOS

Thanks,
Jeff

 

First...why do you want to raise it? Is it significantly too low or are you planing to do it for optimizing reasons?

 

you have to find you httpd.conf

find / |grep httpd.conf

then change the settings in there

 

look for your httpd.conf file

change your maxclients number few steps higher, because full going to large as it can do more damage then good. if your hitting you maxclients limit make a small change but this will also increase your server load as your letting more clients in
