Hey everyone, wanted to ask if anyone has had experience with optimizing apache and their server in general to run ffmpeg plus a file host. My server has 8gb ram, 1tb hd, quad processor, with a 1gb port so wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions for max clients, keepalive etc. The server is dormant atm so i can monitor its load to efficiently but wanted to ask for suggestions on some starting values for apache. Ive gone ahead and compiled fcgi support but nothing else besides that. Thanks all for the help.
I suggest keeping it in default configuration for now until load increases, then reconfigure to suite the load. With that spec server ( its a beast ), it would be able to handle a few few viewers.
Switch to nginx with php-fpm, if you want help just send me a pm for the quote. with nginx 10,000 inactive HTTP keep-alive connections take about 2.5M memory.
