    just use below setting on your conf file. and restart apache.


    # allow a max of 500 clients at any given time
    MaxClients 500

    I have.
    In the config file i have this set

    Then i save that and restart apache though WHM, After that i look at the apache config in WHM and its still at 256 while the config file is still at 500, i Dont get this at all.
    This is the first time this has happend to me, The server is used for web based proxies and i have heard older version of apache would work better for me (Apache 1.3 to be exact).
    This has just all happend cause i had a major server crash then apache recompiled itself and then update to latest version.

    I hope you are aware that Apache2 at least has a MaxClients default value of 256 hard coded at compile time? You'll have to recompile Apache with a new limit, otherwise changing those values does nothing different.

    The MaxClient value can be raised beyond 256 without recompiling. You must also raise the ServerLimit value. For example:

    ServerLimit 1000
    MaxClients 500

    One thing to note, in order for the ServerLimit value to take effect, a complete stop and start is needed for Apache, a restart will not change this value. From shell:

    service httpd stop

    Wait a few seconds for a processes to die nicely, then:

    servive httpd start

    You can also enable the server-info and server-status pages within WHM so that you can view the actual settings through your browser.
