I am wanting to set the following in the httpd.conf
MinSpareServers / MaxSpareServers / StartServers
However they are not in my httpd.conf , I am running Apache 2.2.11 on a cPanel/WHM VPS.
How and where do I set these settings?
Is there any where that I can check my MinSpareServers, MaxSpareServers values are good enough? Or they're too small, or too big?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a pages with high load - load avg is about 10-20.
and in the error_log of the apache message:
[Mon Mar 17 18:10:19 2008] [info] server seems busy, (you may need to increase StartServers, or Min/MaxSpareServers), spawning 8 children, there are 6 idle, and 32 total children
I have in apache:
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeOut 1
StartServers 15
MinSpareServers 15
MaxSpareServers 20
MaxClients 256
MaxRequestsPerChild 500
What values should be of these parameters for the such high traffic pages?
I am using prefork MPM in apache because we are running php which is not thread safe.
I have a ServerLimit of 500 and a MaxClients/MaxSpareServers set at 500. However, the server seems to be stuck at 352 processes.
Any ideas of why that may be?
Server Version: Apache/2.2.22 (Unix)
On our production service, we've been getting numerous malformed POST requests to some of our CGI scripts that are showing up as 500 errors in our logs. They are malformed in the sense that the actual content length doesn't match the Content-Length specified in the request.
Here's the most trivial example I can come up with that reproduces the problem for us:
POST /some_valid_alias HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
User-Agent: Arbitrary/1.0
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------41184676334
Content-Length: 769
-----------------------------41184676334
In addition to the 500 error in the access log, we see the corresponding error in the error log:
(70014)End of file found: Error reading request entity data
Based on the nature of the POST request and the error response, it does appear that Apache is doing the right thing here.
The POST never actually makes it as far as the script being targeted (/some_valid_alias in the above example); in other words, Apache returns 500 to the client, writes the error to the error log and never executes the script.
Is there a way to capture/avoid internal Apache errors like 70014, and return some other HTTP status besides 500 (like 403)? It's particularly annoying in our case, because our server sends us an email for all 500 errors.
So far, our best "defense" against these 500 errors is to disallow POST for these aliases, which normally just ignore the POST data anyway (when the request is not malformed):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^POST$
RewriteRule ^/(some_valid_alias)(.*)$ $1$2 [R]
But this won't work for all our scripts, because in some cases we do want to permit POST.
I've had this problem a long time now with my hosting network and decided to ask here hoping I get some good solutions, or if someone is willing to looking at this (I'll pay if they want).
Here's what I mean:
[url]
Problem is as you can see apache processes constantly rise infinitely, at least until I restart apache (/etc/init.d/httpd restart). The point of restart is shown in red lines.
And after restart, it goes down again for X amount of hours then eventually rises again infinitely until it's restarted again.
But the fact that after restart it remains down, it means it had the potential to be down all along.
So my question is: what could be causing this and does anyone have solution to keep them low at all times (as per graphs)?
The Linux Server got down when the MaxClients 256 is reached.
Error Log:
"server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting"
So that I have tried to increased the MaxClients Value to 500, after changed the value in httpd.conf and restart I get following error message.
" [notice] SIGHUP received. Attempting to restart
WARNING: MaxClients of 500 exceeds ServerLimit value of 256 servers,
lowering MaxClients to 256. To increase, please see the ServerLimit
directive."
So that I tried changed the Server limit in /usr/local/apache/include/httpd.h header file. but it seems like there is no entry.
Apache Version : 2.2.8
So I have added the ServerLimit 500 entry in httpd.conf file and restart the httpd service. But still shows the same warning mesg. Please help me regarding this.

I have apache 1.3 and PHP 4.4 installed on my CentOS 4.4
Can I install apache 2.2 and PHP 5.x on the same server? I want to test my scripts for compatibility and also to check the performance.
I dont want to break my current setup because it's a production server.
if you were to be presented with a choice to run Apache 1 or Apache 2 given you'd have more or less the same support requests etc, and the same underlying user requirements to implement either one or the other, which one would you choose and why?
I noticed that Hsphere Parallels control panel 3.2 release as may well other control panels, offers such possibility. Personally I've been educated from senior members of previous organizations to appreciate Apache 1 as the defacto version of the web hosting industry (choice here being apache 1 and 2, not IIS or any other web servers)
Could you kindly simply attempt to enlighten me given, indeed support for both will/might remain the same in the future?
I am facing while upgrading the current Apache version 2.2.11 to Apache 2.4.4. IIS 7.5 on Windows Web Server 2008 R2 is not redirecting requests to the Apache 2.4.4 which is on Windows Server 2003 R2. I checked the access and error logs of Apache 2.4.4 and there is no entry. The existing 2.2.11 is working completely fine with IIS 7.5. IIS is working as a load balancer in my environment, takes the https requests and forwards that to Apache, then it goes to the App servers. Here, self signed certificate is used between the Load balancer and the Web server.
I have followed exact same configuration as it was used in Apache 2.2.11 but installed it with a different port (444), later changed it to 443 before running Apache 2.4.4 as a service, turning off the Apache 2.2.11 service. And also, my Apache 2.4.4 is working completely fine when I access it through the Web Server level URL (through the server machine name). But it throws me an error 502 when I hit the Load Balancer level URL. Here is the complete error:
"502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server. There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. When the Web server (while acting as a gateway or proxy)contacted the upstream content server, it received an invalid response from the content server."
how I can solve the issue? I am stuck with this portion for about 2 weeks now, it's really urgent to get it solved!
My observation that came through lots of trial and error, I believe that this has something to do with Windows registry!! I came to this conclusion as I uninstalled the existing Apache 2.2.11 and installed it back again, it throws me the same error that I am getting for Apache 2.4.4. Then, I matched it with the other web server, found out some differences in the registry created for 2.2.11 and changed in this one accordingly- now 2.2.11 worked fine in this web server.

I was able to bind additional IP numbers using webmin.
I have a small problem now. The idea of binding the IPs was so that I could create "true port 80" shoutcast connections on the new IP numbers. However, when I try this I am taken to the control panel home page (home page to that server). The config on the shoutcast server is set properly (using proper IP #) as I have been able to listen to a stream using the new ip number's (higher ports), but not the main IP number.
My questions, I hope, are simple.
1. Am I able to use these additional IP numbers for Shoutcast Port 80 (true port 80 - only one per IP #)?
2. If yes, do I have to make Apache use ONLY my main IP number, thereby releasing the others for Port 80 use? If so, how do I do this.
