    hello,

    I dont know much about apache server.
    I got a VPS from a host and checked the server status.

    here is the server status:
    http://1blogging.com/server_status.txt

    (I replaced my website address in the server status.)

    My site uses php and mysql.

    Can you please explain why there are many "Open slots with no current process" in my apache status.
    I don't understand why there are many with "waiting for connection"
    Also, the SS value for some of the open slots show as high as 39212.

    Server details:

    Server Version: Apache/2.2.12 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.12 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5
    Server Built: Aug 9 2009 19:33:15


    here are some values in my httpd.conf

    KeepAlive On
    MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
    KeepAliveTimeout 2
    MinSpareServers 5
    MaxSpareServers 10
    StartServers 5
    MaxClients 150
    MaxRequestsPerChild 500
    ServerLimit 150
    Timeout 30



    Please inform me if anything is wrong in my server.

    Please ask me if you want any more information.
    Thank you.
