Hello
i ask of cpanel.net that why : my apache any 1h going to down and i force run restart httpd

cpanel :
Howdy,

This is occurring because your server is consistently hitting the maximum
allowed concurrent connection limit, defined by MaxClients in httpd.conf:

[root@part7 ~]# grep MaxClient /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log | tail -5
[Mon Oct 22 13:07:46 2007] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider
raising the MaxClients setting
[Mon Oct 22 13:32:03 2007] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider
raising the MaxClients setting
[Mon Oct 22 14:03:29 2007] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider
raising the MaxClients setting
[Mon Oct 22 14:16:07 2007] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider
raising the MaxClients setting
[Mon Oct 22 16:48:36 2007] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider
raising the MaxClients setting
[root@part7 ~]#

You will need to adjust this setting to a value which better accommodates your
server to prevent any further downtime.

The error message (obviously) is saying that the MaxClients is being reached for Apache. This means that too many people are accessing Apache and hitting that set limit, so you will have to raise the limit.

Edit:
/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Look for:
MaxClients 150

Change that to a higher number or even double it, then restart Apache... and that error message should go away.

Hello
thank you very much

Currently WHM does not have an interface for editing this value. You will need
to edit httpd.conf directly, then restart apache after doing so.

Note: once you have edited httpd.conf, you will need to execute
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update to ensure that the changes
are preserved.

Do you know how to edit files via SSH?

If you don't, I would strongly suggest that you consider hiring a server management company who can do all of these tasks for you.

Dear robocap,

In short you need to optimize your apache configuration file.

Best Regards.

C'mon!

I just told him that, was this your cue to jump in with your server management signature because I suggested one?

Robocap:

If you need a server management company, talk to PSM (Platinum Server Management) as they are highly regarded on WHT... however I have no direct experience with them.
