View 5 Replies View RelatedHitting Connections Per Second Limit Of RedHat EL
Jun 11, 2009I have a powerful 8 core 8gb ram web server with scsi raid drives running RedHat EL 4. This server handles 2,000 - 3,000 HTTP requests per second via Litespeed httpd without strain (over 60%+ CPU idle time during peak load, under 1% IO wait). As the traffic volume continues to increase I've encountered a strange problem, the symptoms of which are as follows:
- About 1/4 or 1/3 of new connections are not answered by the server - they time out.
- All connections that are answered have exactly 3 seconds added to the time it takes to establish connection with the server (can be seen as "Connecting to ..." phase in FireFox). HTTP response times were tested by Pingdom from multiple locations all over the world.
- The problem is either "on" or "off", it is not gradual.
- Server ping is unaffected during the problem - no delay and no packet drops.
- The problem does not happen during off-peak hours of the day.
If litespeed httpd settings are tweaked to keep as many connections as possible in keepalive state for as long as possible, the problem is avoided, while tens of thousands of connections are kept in keepalive state.
Possible causes that were tested and eliminated: PHP/MySQL load (problem applies to static files exactly the same), CPU / IO / RAM, network uplink, hardware firewall, DNS.
This makes me think that there is some kind of bottleneck of how many NEW connections per second the server can accept. By maxing out keepalive quantity and duration I'm reducing the number of new connections per second. This is a temporary fix that will only work up to a certain point.
After investigation, litespeed staff verified that my litespeed configuration was correct and after some testing said that nothing in litespeed was responsible for this limiting factor. Litespeed process uses relatively little CPU and can definitely handle more volume.
Following sysctl.conf values were increased substantially to see if that will make a difference: tcp_max_syn_backlog, tcp_max_tw_buckets, tcp_max_orphans, netdev_max_backlog, somaxconn, file-max. This didn't produce any results. Disabling syncookies didn't help either. dmesg doesn't have any notices of limits being hit or throttles being applied.
Litespeed staff suggests that likely some limit in linux kernel is being reached. The strange 3 second delay does seem like an "intelligent" DDOS protection strategy of some sort. Perhaps this is some kind of kernel level DDOS protection?

Limited HTTPD Connections. How To Not Limit Them
Apr 13, 2007When I SSH'd into my box, I received this message:
example.pl is on this server. HTTPD connections have been limited to restrict this script from overloading server. All servers that have hosted this file need to have extremely limited http connections or have this file removed. It is poorly written and intense on CPU/memory.
How do I go and allow example.pl to be run on my server again? I use it solely for personal sites, so I wish to not have this file blocked and be allowed to run. I've searched for almost an hour now so I figured I would go ahead and post to see if any more experienced members could assist.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLimit Apache (thread) Connections Per Request
Jan 9, 2007I've been having trouble the past few days with someone who's been "attacking" my site so to speak by continuously downloading very large files with as many connections as (he) can open. I operate a large downloads site for computer games, this person has selected the largest files (like 400-500MB). Not sure of the real intent other than to clog up my bandwidth capacity. Also he appears to be using proxies since as soon as I ban one, another shows up seeminly from China.
Anyway, I have mod_bw and I've limited the number of connections in the downloads area to 2. While that works ok, his tool uses threads like a download manager would and he's using up 30-40 child threads for his 2 file downloads.
So 2 questions,
Is there anyway to not only limit file downloads to 2, but limit the number of connections per request? Many of my visitors do use download managers and I'd like for them to continue using them but use a reasonable number of threads like 6 or 8, but not 30.
Also, is there a way to restrict access to someone using a proxy?

Too Many Connections
Dec 21, 2008I tried to update a plugin at my blog its a wordpress blog, as soon as the update was started that site on the server stopped working, (later on i closed the upgradation window), after few minutes website start working automatically, Now in my opinion I think that update process is still running in background thats why connections are creating continuously to that website IP.
[root@server ~]# netstat -alpn | grep :80 | awk '{print $4}' | cut -d: -f1 |sort |uniq -c
1001 serverIPhere
its even touching 1500, I tried to contact my server support but unfortunately they can investigate the issue, instead they told me to check with the following command.
netstat -plan |grep :80 | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
which is not an answer to my question. Can anybody please tell me why those connections are making to that website's IP? I don't think its a Ddos attack, because it was just started when i updated the plugin.

I am asking because I just found out my host only allows 50 per hosting package that is on a shared server. To me that seems to be very little.

SSH Connections Limited To 2
May 2, 2008I signed up for a hosted account with gator and I don't understand something. They tell me it's a policy change for security reasons but the simultaneous SSH connections has been limited to 2. That's just nuts. Is there a real reason why someone would limit this? i need two for editors, one for shell and one for mysql. Minimum of 4. What security concern could cause them to pick 2 as the number?
I just don't get it.
Here's what they said to me.
info: Please wait for a HostGator operator to respond.
Channel Sanderson: Hi. We're working on our website and have run into a small snag. It seems we can only have two open SSH connections at a time this week. We were able to open more a couple weeks ago. Is this something that you can change?
Kella J.: Ok, the issue is.. You are only alllowed 2, no matter what..
Channel Sanderson: I believe we are not understanding each other. We're not trying to connect 10 times in a minute. We just need more connections. 2 is insufficient. We need a minimum of 4 simultaneous connections to our server.
Kella J.: I am sorry, I checked with my admin.. he said there is only a limit of 2, period..
Channel Sanderson: This is an unnecessary limitation in my view and badly limits my ability to do what I need to do.
How Many Connections Apache Can Go Up To
Sep 15, 2008Just logged in my cPanel, and Apache Server Status shows

Server uptime: 2 hours 52 minutes 5 seconds
Total accesses: 701666 - Total Traffic: 63.7 GB

400 requests currently being processed, 0 idle workers
I told customer service and said my website (a big forum) have 4000 people now, I felt very slow, could the slowness caused by this max apache connection setting?
I got reply: "400 seems to be as high as Apache can go. Your httpd.conf settings currently show 500 max connections enabled. If Apache is stopping at 400 then this is it's hard limit for maximum connections. Also If it was able to go even higher you would eventually run into memory issues on the server that would cause the server to crash."
Can anyone tells me if "400 requests currently being processed, 0 idle workers " is a problem or could it be the cause of the slowness. I imagin if more people request connection, and apache can't deal with that much, it has to let those request wait in the queue, therefore caused slowness or time-out.
The seem server could deal with 8000 people online before, no any problem at all and speed was quite fast. I don't know what i should do now.

MySQL Max Connections
Jan 16, 2008My PHP application is starting to reach max mysql server user connections limit (currently set to 60). I listed mysql process list in phpmyadmin and found there lot of queries with status "LOCKED" these hang there for a long time(not always just sometimes - twice a day) and then connection limit is reached. It causes load average about 40 for as long as 10 - 20 minutes
I think it may be bacause of query structure. There are some queries with many inner joins...
Here is typical situation from phpmyadmin's process list:
1. select ... from table_1
inner join table_2
inner join table_3
inner join table_4
inner join table_5
This show status : "Copying to tmp table" in phpmyadmin
2. update table_2 set ....
This shows status: Locked
3. select ... from table_2
This shows status: Locked
Seems then when temp table is being created the table_2 is locked and it cannot make update to table_2. or maybe it's locked because of just that update on table_2.
I want to avoid of creating temp tables... Can it help if I'll make separate selects without large table joins ?
The Deal On Connections
Jan 7, 2007My site is hosted on Dreamhost and gets over 1 million hits a day. The site is highly optimized, so it can handle the load easily without slowing the server down. Most pages have a loading time of under 0.2 seconds.
However, Dreamhost is telling me now that I'm using up too many "connections" and have limited my connections to 150 every 3 seconds (or so they say). Now 503 errors are coming up left and right, and its highly annoying to me and my users. Oh, and Dreamhost has mentioned several times that I'm oh such a very good candidate to upgrade to $400/mo dedicated hosting (from $8/mo currently).
So my question is, is this connection restriction really a valid concern of Dreamhost or are they just trying to milk me for money because my site is popular?
