Topic: Apache Problem on port 80 after about 10 hours of work

[mario.vecchiato]

Hello everyone, I have a problem on an installation Apache 2.4.12 and Windows 2008 R2 64-bit on a VMware virtual machine.

This server contains two sites developed in wordpress and these sites work without problem on a server xamp. I made a migration to move apache and mysql. The problem that occurs is that after about 9/10 hours the server becomes inaccessible from outside the server (in LAN) on port 80. In Remote Desktop can use phpmyadmin through localhost, not from the outside in. If I access to port 443 instead allowed from outside. It seems that they do not accept new connections on port 80. When restart apache everything returns to normal and I can access from the outside to port 80.

In the log file appear only this error:
AH00326: Server ran out of threads to serve requests. Consider raising the ThreadsPerChild setting

and numerous warning like this:
The specified network name is no longer available. : AH00341: winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.

I have read some message on forums that some have solved by inserting the following lines in the configuration file:

AcceptFilter http none
AcceptFilter https none
EnableMMAP off
EnableSendfile off

For groped to solve the problem I installed a new virtual machine with the same OS and the same configuration file, but this error does not occur in my test environment. Can anyone help me?

Thankyou for your reply.

Consider raising the ThreadsPerChild setting

it seems that all your child threads are busy.

Do you monitor your server via server-status page?

What is the value of your ThreadsPerChild?
