To get the most number of fds, first bump up the number of available fds for the kernel and the Apache user uid. Bumping 'maxusers' to something like 256 in your kernel config file will do that for you. 'ulimit -a' is your friend. After increasing the kernel/user number of fds, you can compile Apache and add '-DFD_SETSIZE=4096' (for example) to give you the capability for thousands. You can get more or less by how you allocate access logs and error logs (if each vhost gets their own, then you chew up fds faster). -- =========================================================================== Jim Jagielski [|] jim@jaguNET.com [|] http://www.jaguNET.com/ "Are you suggesting coconuts migrate??"
