Hi All,
I support a company website on Apache with 4GB of RAM. We've had issues lately with RAM bottoming out and the site becoming slow or unreachable.
I managed to be running 'top' when the site went down recently, and noticed that the number of running Apache processes had gone from around 9 to well over 70. A colleague suggested that I increase Maxrequestworkers (was at 150 at the time), which I did to 250.
That seemed to reduce the incidence of RAM bottoming, however it still seems to be a problem occasionally. I've read arguments for both increasing and decreasing Maxrequestworkers - can someone tell me which direction to go?
I should also mention my server is currently configured with the following numbers:
timeout 300
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 5
Thanks for your help! |
