We have a Free-BSD server that seems to keep rebooting on some panic exit error. This machine is a webserver that is receiving a massive amount of traffic. Just before it usually dies it stops running cgi processes , returning an 'internal server error' response. I usually have gone in a set the 'limit maxproc 256' from the default 64 and it helps for a short time. The machine still dies no matter what I do after about 2 hours of the load. I have even gone to the extreme of running a cron every 30 minutes to restart the apache server and kick all current connections. This does not help either. There must be something I can config to allow more users on the system than the default config. What should I change or configure in the kernel, and or any other location to increase the performance of the machine and allow the maximum possible internet connections as possible. I also run 5 RedHat server that do not have this problem and run at an even higher load than the Free-BSD machine with less RAM. My Free-BSD is a Pentium II 300 with 256 MB ram . I would be greatful for any help. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
