Hello,
I have checked the logs and I was able to notice that the MaxClients option is hit :
[Thu Apr 23 20:03:46 2009] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting [Fri Apr 24 06:23:04 2009] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting [Mon Apr 27 00:49:43 2009] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting [Mon Apr 27 02:49:01 2009] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting [Mon Apr 27 03:12:39 2009] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting [Mon Apr 27 07:30:10 2009] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting [Mon Apr 27 08:58:30 2009] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting [Wed Apr 29 01:05:29 2009] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting [Wed Apr 29 07:30:46 2009] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting [Wed Apr 29 07:41:50 2009] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting [Wed Apr 29 07:58:28 2009] [error]
server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting
I have increased MaxClients top the value of 300 and restarted Apache so that the changes would take effect:
[root@server ~]# cat /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf | grep MaxClients MaxClients 300
Let me explain in few words what is the
MaxClients option for.
MaxClients is an Apache directive that limits the total number of HTTP processes that can run on your server.
Therefore, MaxClients also limits the number of clients/visitors who can simultaneously connect to your websites.
This is a global Apache setting affecting all sites on your server.
and this solve my problem
