Apache Seems to be busy but load is 0.00

Hello all,

here is my problem:

i'm hosting a forum (~80 simultalinous users online) In a VDS 512 MB RAM, Linux Debian with apache 1.3 and mysql 4.1 , php4.

Apache seems to be busy, pages don't even load, this can be resolved by restating apache. and after a couple of time (about 4 hours) it does the same thing again, and i do have to restart it again and looping ...

Here is my httpd.conf file :

Timeout 200
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 200
KeepAliveTimeout 3
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 15
StartServers 5
MaxClients 20
HostnameLookups Off

MaxRequestsPerChild 2000

Listen 80
BindAddress *

Code (markup):

Can you please help me ?

 

It is happening because your Maximum clients requests have been set too low. Change the value of MaxClients 20 to 1000.

Like this:

MaxClients 1000

And also for better apache performance you can follow my below suggested values:

Set the following values:

Timeout 65
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 15
KeepAliveTimeout 1

After changing the values, restart your apache. Hope your problem will be resolved

Regards

 

thank you mate

 

set timeout to 30
keepalive to off.

This will reduce your apache load and speed thing up.

 

keepalive off and set the timeout to 10.Also there can be a mysql problem.Please check the logs and paste the sql config
