I am now getting about 250-400 users on my server at a time and load is spiking to between 4-15 during this time. When this happens server takes forever to respond. I have been trying very unsuccessfully to tweak and optimize Apache.
Server is old and the basic specs are:
FreeBSD 6.4
Pentium 4 3.2ghz HT
2GB Ram
In httpd-default.conf I have this right now:
Timeout 60
MaxKeepAliveRequests 1000
KeepAliveTimeout 1
And inside httpd-mpm.conf:
<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
ServerLimit 100
MaxClients 100
MaxRequestsPerChild 1000
</IfModule>
I have really played with these settings a lot and so far...no great performance increases. Seriously it's been a couple months that this has been going on and I have finally decided it's time to ask straight out for help here.
Is it that my server hardware (processor) is just unable to handle 300+ connections with Apache 2.2? That just doesn't seem right to me.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
