Configuration Advice MaxClients
|
|
Hi everyone,
We recently configured a new front and backend (Apache 2.26 -> Tomcat 6)
with the AJP connector. It seems to be working great, but when we began
load testing we realized we had to tweak it a little, the machines are
quad cores with 16 gigs running on Linux.
My question is how many threads are available by default to Apache? I
discovered Tomcat had only 20 threads by default, so I increased this to
(maxThreads="256"), as far as I understand this is the default for
Apache, is this correct? is this setting optimal for the hardware? The
site is not very busy, but I would prefer that is is a little scalable
to support at least +- 300 concurrent sessions. Is there anything else
I should consider to allow these servers to perform better on the new
hardware?
Thanks for your help,
Peter
PS: The configuration:
<!-- Apache 2.26-->
ProxyPass /approot ajp://mydomain.com:8009/approot
ProxyPassReverse /approot ajp://mydomain.com:8009/approot
<!-- AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 in Tomcat 6 -->
<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3"
connectionTimeout="20000"
enableLookups="false"
redirectPort="8443"
maxThreads="256"/>
