Hello,
I have apache (the one from the official site mirrors) installed on my 64 bit windows OS on a multi core processor.
First of all, I'm wondering if there is a 64 bit version of apache for windows 64 bit server 2003.
Secondly I'm wondering what I can do to stop Apache from clogging up!
Every time a load of say 300 people visit the webserver, apache clogs up and it takes forever to load (the web page). It makes no sense since I know 100% sure that the server box its self can handle it and the connection (100Mbit port, 10Mb/s) can handle it, so no idea whats causing it and I really need a fix.
P.S. Would it improve speeds dramatically or at least fairly good if I installed PHP as Fast-CGI rather than a module? |

There is a x64 bit Version.
What is in your error log about apache stops serving? Anything in your windows event log? Did you turn on the php error log? |

James Bond, I remember you - helped me out with the virtual host a while back 
Alright, okay so nothing in the windows event log. I started using cronolog.exe to create separate access and error logs, because the access log grows to 500 MB + in a day with all the visits.
However I think I'm going to try this 64 bit version. The mpm_prefork modules aren't loaded currently and I believe it would help in making full use of the processor.
I'll reply back with any changes. |

| mpm_prefork is only on unix/linux. For windows there is only mpm_winnt |

Right, yeah got that working now.
I've been trying out the 64 bit version of Apache on another box, works great and all but I don't the fact that the MSSQL libraries don't work with it.
What do I need to change so that my Apache server can handle say 1000+ visitors at a time? Because its still going nuts when a huge load of visitors come.
I'm going to be switching to a 32-bit OS, not even sure why I'm on a 64 bit.
**EDIT**
I've had several of these errors in my Event Viewer:
| Code: | | Faulting application httpd.exe, version 2.2.9.0, faulting module libapr-1.dll, version 1.3.0.0, fault address 0x000071b1. |
| Code: | | Faulting application httpd.exe, version 2.2.9.0, faulting module php5ts.dll, version 5.2.6.6, fault address 0x000ad1b7. |
I'm not sure how or why (this is alll 32-bit php and apache) php would be crashing. |

Yeah, httpd.exe (*32) takes up sometimes 74% CPU Usage.
Any idea whats going on? Right now only a forum, vBulletin is running.
Also, my php scripts start getting "Out of memory" errors- which is weird because right now I shut off all other servers except apache and mysql - 4 GB RAM...
*EDIT*
Disabling custom logs fixed it- should have done that a while ago, I suppose my read/write speed is slow. However, still- not handling the load very well! |
