Bug#399776: apache2-mpm-prefork: apache2.2 maxclients limit freeze the box
Package: apache2-mpm-prefork
Version: 2.2.3-3.3
Followup-For: Bug #399776
Seems the same bug, but opposite. With this configuration:
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 30
MaxClients 100
MaxRequestsPerChild 1000
When apache2 needs more than 100 clients, I got this in the errorlog
file:
[Sun Feb 25 19:58:22 2007] [error] server reached MaxClients setting,
consider raising the MaxClients setting
and the box slowing down dramatically. I cannot access the machine, I can
only reboot. However the machine isn't died, but is very very very slow,
probably no more ram and swap is available.
With the old apache 1.3 no problem for years...
