Hi guys,

Im trying to change the HARD_SERVER_LIMIT on my server but its not working.

I edit the following in "httpd.h"...

#ifndef HARD_SERVER_LIMIT
#ifdef WIN32
#define HARD_SERVER_LIMIT 512
#elif defined(NETWARE)
#define HARD_SERVER_LIMIT 1024
#else
#define HARD_SERVER_LIMIT 1024 <---- i change this to 2048 or what ever.
#endif
#endif

I save httpd.h and then recompile apache thru /scritps/easyapache

After doing all that.. the HARD_SERVER_LIMIT is still the same, it doesnt save my new value.

I dont know what to do now! :(

CAN SOMEONE PLEASSSE HELP ME!

Thank you in advance

You need to recompile apache for the changes to take effect.

doesnt running /scripts/easyapache mean that im recompiling apache????

how else do i recompile?

thank you steven :)

easyapache already raises it to like 16k

when i try to increase maxclients above 1024, i get this msg:

WARNING: MaxClients of 2048 exceeds compile time limit of 1024 servers,
lowering MaxClients to 1024. To increase, please see the
HARD_SERVER_LIMIT define in src/include/httpd.h

thats why i edit the httpd.h file and increase HARD_SERVER_LIMIT from 1024 to 2048.

But after editing the HARD_SERVER_LIMIT to 2048 the value doesnt change, remains 1024. i didnt think it would be that hard :( arrghhh.

Please HELP!

Thank you

Can anyone PLEASE help... ive looked everywhere for a solution.. i cant find anything :(

What do i need to do in order to change HARD_SERVER_LIMIT...

Im desperate to get this resolved, there has to be someone that knows how to do this???

Please reply, thank you

As steven said, you need to recompile apache for the change to take place. httpd.h is a make file, not a binary.

isnt running /scripts/easyapache mean that its recompiling apache???

how do i recompile apache????

Please reply, thank you

easyapache will redownload the apache package and overwrite any changes you make.

Of course we know how to compile apache from source. The problem is that if you have any "particular" settings pertaining to your install of apache, it may screw things up.

For example ./configure; make; make install;
will probably break things. Do you have SSL, etc? You should look at your the head of the log file created during the compilation of apache using easyapache. That should give you an indication of what you need to put after ./configure --things here.
For example, if your source files are located in /usr/local/src/apache-version-x
Then look at the file /usr/local/src/apache-version-x/config.status

Don't forget that if you have mod ssl, extra steps are necessary.

When i try ./configure i get this:

-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

What now?? :(

I pretty much made it clear that you shouldn't run that command without any parametters. You should ask for 1-on-1 help or a real technician to do this for you.

Or like Andren said:

Logout of your server and hire an admin before you do any damage to your server.

I ran into this problem today as well, here's what I did:

1) Rebuild apache from the WHM or easyapache, it should create a dir /home/cpapachebuild.

2) Go into /home/cpapachebuild/buildapache. Edit limit.patch, find the line that starts like this:

+#define HARD_SERVER_LIMIT

(note the plus symbol in front) and change the number following it to whatever you want the HARD_SERVER_LIMIT to be.

3) Run bs by typing, "./bs" select the Advanced option ("6) Advanced (Experts Only, At Your Own Risk)"). It'll bring up a little dialog screen with checkboxes just like the Apache Update part of the WHM, make sure to uncheck the "Skip apache build if up to date" option, and to check the "Raise HARD_SERVER_LIMIT" option. Exit the dialog and it should take care of itself from there.

HTH

YES! that worked. :peace:

Ive being trying to do this for so long

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) :) :) :) :) :)
