asmith3006 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hi, I'm running an apache server with php and a mysql backend for an AJAX chat system. The system needs to support ~300 people eventually but at the moment it needs to be supporting ~200 but I'm struggling. The system keeps hitting the "MaxClients" limit on the apache server. I thought I'd uped it to 2000 users and 3000 for the server limit, but I'm still hitting the limit. Should I be using "Persistent connections" or not is my first question. The other question is how can I check what the maxclients setting it? Thanks for any and all help. Andrew.

corbin Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 You can check it in httpd.conf. What's your KeepAliveTimeout setting?

kevintynfron Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 A quick-and-dirty check is if you have server-status enabled, the number of dots show how many clients you can have.

asmith3006 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 My httpd.conf file is empty. All my settings seem to be in apache2.conf. Is this bad? My keepalive is currently turned off. How do I turn on "server-status" and where do I look at these dots? Sorry for so many questions, I have a lot to learn! Andrew.
