Hi All,
I'm trying to diagnose a problem with an Apache server that occasionally reaches its maxclients. The server host as given me access to the Apache server-status but I'm not sure what to read into what I'm seeing. The example below is not typical but has occured once or twice where everything is marked 'sending response'. One thing I don't quite get is why other examples of other peoples server-status always seem to have alot more than the ten processes/requests that mine shows. Could that be an issue in itself? The other state that's not uncommom is alot in a 'C' state, should that tell me I need to use KeepAlives?
Any help, or pointers to where I can do some more research would be appreciated.
:O)
Andy
