    Apache httpd.conf configuration suggestion

    Hi all,

    I am a software developer and maintain my busy software download website. This site only contains some static html pages and several software installation files for downloading (about 10MB each one). My users can download my software from this site.

    This is the hardwares of my server:
    2.4 GHz Celeron
    - 80 GB Drive
    - 1G MB Ram

    I want to optimize the site performance and want to konw how to set these values in the httpd.conf:

    Timeout
    MaxClients
    Keepalive
    MaxKeepAliveRequest
    KeepAliveTimeOut
    Start Servers
    MaxRequestPerChild

    Who can give me some suggestion?

    All static files? Use thttpd or something similarly light.

    If you must use Apache, MaxClients = 1/4MB RAM, KeepAliveTimeOut ~2 sec. StartServers depends on your traffic, but somewhere around your peak usage is good. With no dynamic scripts, MaxRequests can be pretty high.
