tweeking apache server settings..

[cash69]

hey does anybody know the maximum settings for an apache server.. i got these settings and it's locking about 75% of my traffic out and going to "page cannot be displayed"
.. these settings seem to only let about 20 - 25 clicks per second.. and then lock the rest out.. when i move them up more it doesn't seem to help.. are these the settings i should be changing.. if not.. what should i change?

Maxclients 1250
Startserver 40
maxspareservers 175
minspareservers 50
keepalivetimeout 1
maxkeepaliverequests 0

timeout 10

With a default compilation of apache, the max you can go to is 256 simultaneous clients. Doesn't matter what you set that number to, it won't go any higher. If you want to go more than that, you need to make some modifications and recompile apache.

Don't have the info at hand right now, but do a web search and you should find some pages on how to do it.

it's on a win2k box.. is it still possible to recompile apache? when i use iis with the php.dll i get "PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 77FC8DBD" and when i switch to php.exe it crashes the server..

Ah...sorry, can't help there. I've never used a windows server.

- set the keepalivetimeout to 0
- compile apache so it can handle 512 connections
