 Posted: Wed 20 Aug '14 16:58 Post subject: Apache 2.2.22 Conf Review |
 |
|
Hello!
I used to work for a vendor that supplies a software suite. I've been to several other sites than the one I'm on, and Apache seems to run well and without issue...for months at a time.
The users are comparable, only about 15 - 30 at a time all day long.
The only difference between this site and the other sites is the heavy use of SSL and with PKI logon.
Its mostly an IE 8 shop (should be getting 11 soon), and the issues I see are mostly errors on page that are rectified by bouncing the apache server service.
We are kind of stuck on 2.2.X due to it being part of a vendor supplied software.
I'm not a Conf guru by any means, and I'm more of a sys admin than anything else. These confs, aside from some keepalive additions on the SSL side, have been relatively untouched for a number of years.
If anyone can please help review and/or make recommendations, it would be most appreciated!
If I left any information that would be helpful, I'd be happy to answer. |

| Oh, at the moment we have verifyclient set to optional because we don't have everyone on PKI at the moment so its a mixed bag of logins. |

What is the issue ? Errors ? Anything in the log(s) ?
Reading your post I cannot figure it out. |

Thank you for the reply.
I don't know how to fully answer the question, because the issues I see can varry. Usually they take form of the page not 100% rendering or 100% operable. Buttons won't work, or it looks like it lacks CSS, and Ctrl+F5 or even deleting browser cache doesn't fix it.
However, if I bounce Apache, it all works again without issue for a week or so.
I also have an installer that uses java to make calls to download and unzip items and about halfway through the process I'll get "java.net.SocketException: Connection reset".
Again, if I bounce Apache and Tomcat, it works...
I guess its all not enough information. Apahce error logs show nothing, I get all 200's in the access log on my items I'm downloading...its just odd to me.
I don't mind bouncing them every morning, but, I kind of feel like the same application works elsewhere...with slightly different conf files and not as much SSL usage. |

As it turns out, the issue I mentioned with the java installer appears to be directly related to the SSL keepalive previously being set at 5 seconds. I upped it to 30 seconds and it seems the connection closed error is gone with 100% success rate in testing.
If my server is just a web server that connects to a database and the web server has 6gb RAM, how could I Allocate more toward Apache?
Just reduce the max threads per child?
I'm on Sever 2k3. |
