Issue/Introduction

In use of Apache prefork mode, how much "Max Connections" are needed at least at Policy Server?

Environment

Release:
Component: SMAPC

Resolution

Below are how to calculate "Max Connections" at minimum required.

Prefork mode (this mode is not common - the vast majority of Apache deployments are in Worker mode):
Web Server * MaxClient * Minimum Sockets Per Port = Max Connections

Worker mode:
Web Server * MaxClient * Maximum Sockets Per Port = Max Connections

 

Web Server = The number of Web Server
MaxClient = The parameter of httpd.conf
Minimum Sockets Per Port, Maximum Sockets Per Port = The value configured in the Host Configuration Object (HCO)

Additional Information

Default compile of Apache does not lead to an efficient web server/web agent deployment
