Hi... I'm having a problem with a high-load webserver that I hope
someone can help me with.
I'm running 2.2.6... the server is sustaining a pretty regular 30
httpd processes at any one time. However, when it spikes up to around 128
or so (total system processes over 160), I start getting "Couldn't spawn
child process" messages in my error_log.
httpd runs as "www"; the www user is in a class called "www".
Here's the entry in login.conf:
www:\
:path=/bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin:\
:cputime=infinity:\
:filesize=128M:\
:datasize-cur=64M:\
:stacksize-cur=32M:\
:coredumpsize-cur=0:\
:maxmemorysize-cur=128M:\
:memorylocked=32M:\
:maxproc=512:\
:maxproc-cur=256:\
:openfiles=512:\
:tc=default:
I managed to solve this using login.conf in 2.2.2, but I can't
seem to get it to behave here. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks!
Brian
