A lot of apache processes

[ASTRAPI]

Hello

I am using a cpanel server and i use the nginx plugin and nginx in front of apache with prefork.

I use :

StartServers 8
MinSpareServers 10
MaxSpareServers 10
ServerLimit 256
MaxClients 256
MaxRequestsPerChild 20000
KeepAlive on
KeepAliveTimeout 5
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
TimeOut 300


I use also xcache and spinx :)

But i am getting many :

/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -k start -DSSL

And the server is loading a lot like 20 and sometimes 200 :(

If i have online 350 users per minute....

Any ideas?

Thank you

Change the following:

As a suggestion :P

StartServers 5

MinSpareServers 10

MaxSpareServers 10

ServerLimit 250

MaxClients 156

MaxRequestsPerChild 10000

KeepAlive on

KeepAliveTimeout 2

MaxKeepAliveRequests 100

TimeOut 100

Apache runs best on keep alive 2 and will kill / start spawns as requested

Thanks i will try them :)

Another recommendation for my setup so nginx will do more (i am not sure if it is true):

StartServers 8
MinSpareServers 2
MaxSpareServers 5
MaxClients 80
MaxRequestsPerChild 0

What do you think?

Also from where i must edit them?

As i was easy apache and i was check prefork.

So i must edit here? :
Main >> Service Configuration >> Apache Configuration >> Global Configuration

Or the prefork settings that i use from:

Main >> Service Configuration >> Apache Configuration >> Include Editor - Pre VirtualHost Include

Are they the same?

Confused.

You edit:

Service Configuration >> Apache Configuration >> Global Configuration

Nginx believe or not can increase loads depending on the apache setup.

Try disable it and use the keep alive setting I said and check the difference.

Ok i add them let's see ...

I was restart apache and sql also ...

Sql every time that i restart it i get double or triple cpu usage...

Ok the problem seems to be a scan from Acunnetix vulnerability scanner that is loading many thousands of exploits to test on the server :(

And the firewall was not block it :(

You need to disable the functions in apache.

Also disable: "allow_url_fopen" this will stop data being pulled from locations.

whats your current disabled functions ?
