Hi, I was wondering whether if these settings are normal for the server with about 30.000 visitors a day ? KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 200 KeepAliveTimeout 7 MinSpareServers 15 MaxSpareServers 30 StartServers 20 MaxClients 320 MaxRequestsPerChild 1000 Timeout 300
Seems ok...I prefer lower amount of spareservers (usually use 5 and 20), but that isn't a big factor. Are you having problems with the server...as if something aint broken don't fix it
depends on what your server is running, and the type of traffic, and the type of content. dedicated server make all these the same if you server can really have 320 httpds MinSpareServers 320 MaxSpareServers 320 StartServers 320 MaxClients 320 sticky users okay keep it on otherwise off is better. KeepAlive On KeepAliveTimeout 7 MaxKeepAliveRequests 200 static page you can increase, stuff like modperl don't increase. MaxRequestsPerChild 1000 lower is better. 300 seconds is 5 mins? Timeout 300
Why to have such amount of spare servers waiting...although the server would be able to take it what is the benefit? It just take resources from other processes to have excessive amount of spare servers...spare servers are not in use, those are waiting to be used.
