Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Apache Refuses Connections

[JoeBannon]

Apache 1.3.

Every few days, Apache refuses all connections. It doesn't stop running, just refuses all connections. The only way I can get it working again is to manually kill the process in the pid file then delete the pid file. I then restart it normally and it's back to running.

Anyone have them happen to them?

I just turned on error logging and put the loglevel to crit. I'll post what error I get when it happens again.

It is possible that you are hitting the MaxClients limit set in httpd.conf. Try increasing the value.

That wouldn't cause apache to just stop refusing all connections altogether, just new ones until there is a connection available.

Have you checked the logs when such errors happen?

As I said in my post... "I just turned on error logging and put the loglevel to crit. I'll post what error I get when it happens again".

That will be nice. Will look forward for your post.

Hasn't happened again, but it will.
