apache conf settings

[nik0la]

Hello
Can anyone suggest me httpd config limits on file servers? Currently i have this

Timeout 200
KeepAlive On
maxKeepAliveRequests 150
KeepAliveTimeout 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 15
StartServers 20
MaxClients 256
MaxRequestsPerChild 1000
HostnameLookups Off


Im using direct links for all users, my file serv configurations are:

Quad Core Xeon X3210*
2.13 GHz
2GB DDR2*

Hi nik0la.

- likely Timeout should be longer, like 600 or longer if you allow large
uploads. Collect statistics and calculate what it needs to be.
- disable keepalives, they help graphical browsers, not fileservers
- your other apache settings are likely ok.
- look at tuning your OS sysctl settings.

It's important that you monitor the number of apache connections and
memory consumption with munin, cacti, or whatever so you know
your system. Never allow swapping on a server - better to turn away
user connections.
