Any one can help me,

Window server 2008 r2
Apache 2.2.x
PhP 5.2.x

When i doing load testing by using AB.EXE tool. i'm getting this error :

apr_socket_connect(): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (730061)



c:\apache\bin>ab.exe -c 400 -n 400 http://IP Address/

Your ab parameters: 400 transactions performed 400-at-a-time, is probably running into a Windows Server security limit. It isn't likely that any single remote machine would ever open 400 connections to your server simultaneously, and Windows is likely to treat this as suspicious.

You should check your event log and see if you have any messages like "TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts".

A more reasonable and realistic set of parameters to test your Apache server would be:

I solved this error by using the IP address instead of localhost e.g. http://127.0.0.1/test.html instead of http://localhost/test.html
