This was a bit more straight forward in the Apache 1.3 days since those directives were already included in the httpd.conf file. With Apache 2.0 and above that is not the case.
What you need to do is:
1. Open up your httpd.conf file.
2. Manually add the following lines right after the initial notes/messages are finished:
ServerLimit ####
MaxClients ####
3. Please replace #### in the above example with the actual number you wish to set. Be sure to keep ServerLimit *above* MaxClients so that apache parses it first, otherwise you'll keep getting the Alert upon httpd reboot. Make sure to keep your ServerLimit number equal to or higher than the MaxCllients number.
4. Restart apache after you have edited and saved the httpd.conf file.
Alternatively, you can put everything into the prefork.c module. Just copy/paste the following into the httpd.conf file and restart apache:
<IfModule prefork.c>
ServerLimit 1000
Timeout 25
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 500
KeepAliveTimeout 15
StartServers 10
MinSpareServers 7
MaxSpareServers 15
MaxClients 800
MaxRequestsPerChild 1000
</IfModule>
Of course, adjust the above numbers to your liking.
We're Happy with our 1 Gigabit Server AYK Solutions! AYK Solutions provides all our back-end server infrastructure for our video streaming sites which burn up about 200 GB of data every day. I have had nothing less then 1 MB/second downloads from all the servers that I have had from them. Their technical support saved me several times, and their tech support is 24/7 and responsive. I currently have a Quad Xeon on a 1 gigE port for WAY LESS then any other dedicated server provider
Dedicated Semi-Managed Server Review I've been using AYKSolutions for about 2 years now and their support and servers have been great. They assisted me with the transition of all my websites and databases from my old server onto their system with no problem. If I ever need them for support or a change they respond fast and always keep me up to date with the status of my support ticket. I highly recommend using this company especially if you're looking for someone to assist with server management. Best of all their cost is great!
