I have been trying to tweak Apache but no luck there... some apache tweaks that have worked for me: raise maxchildrequests to something like 300 or more. make sure limits are off, probably via 'ulimit' bump maxusers to something like 256. since you didn't give a single hint as to your hardware config i'll stop here as i don't want to bump limits so high that it overloads your machine. > Thanks in advance. > > p.s. I am running 2.2.8 FreeBSD. it'd probably be advisable to upgrage to 3.3-stable as soon as you can. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
