Apache2.2 Max Request

Apache2.2 can handle up to max how many request?

[joejoearmani]

Good day to all,

Does anybody know Apache2.2 WinNT MPM can handle up to maximum how many request concurrently?

My current setting on httpd-mpm.conf as below:-
# WinNT MPM
<IfModule mpm_winnt_module>
ThreadsPerChild 4000
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>

But, when I check on apache server-status link, it show up to 1920 workers only. I suppose it should show 4000 workers, so is this (1920 workers) max limit?

My case need to support up to 4000 request at the peak hour. Appreciate if any advice?

Thanks.

This will sound counterintuitive, but is it possible you're setting your ThreadsPerChild value too high?

lucy24,

Reason being, I have configure multiple virtual host which serve different site, and each site could hit up to 500 request at the peak hour. From my understanding, the "ThreadsPerChild" will serve the whole load for the Apache, therefore I have to set ThreadsPerChild at 4000.

Does it possible to handle 4000 request?

Thanks and appreciate your help.
