Increasing Apache MaxClients Limit

[trhosting.net]

Hello,

I am having trouble with apache MaxClients limit.
I want to increase it and set it to 800 from httpd-mpm.conf file but on apache status page it doesn't exeed 256. It always shown as "256 requests currently being processed, 0 idle workers". It seems a server limit or compile time limit but i don't know how to change it.

How can i increase it?

My httpd-mpm.conf files prefork section:
<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
StartServers 50
MinSpareServers 50
MaxSpareServers 100
MaxClients 800
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>

Its something with the apache compile. I never figured out how to raise it with 2 and 2.2 . But you can raise it in 1.3 in the easyapache, if that is not enough you can edit the httpd.h file I think and add the line for hard limit

The limit is hardcoded to apache 2.x and it is not possible to change it from config files.
This is the information about this that i can find. I didn't find any way to change it.

I have downgraded to apache 1.3.41. The hardcoded limit automatically increased to 2048. Then i set the MaxClients variable.

This is a big problem with the apache 2.x config.
I have created a bug report for this that you can poll.

Just insert ServerLimit directive before MaxClients will help.

For example:

ServerLimit 512

StartServers 32
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 20
MaxClients 512
MaxRequestsPerChild 1000

Don't forget to distill your apache configuration for the next cpanel update.

seems useless
i always get
ServerLimit directive before MaxClients
128 requests currently being processed, 0 idle workers

Just insert ServerLimit directive before MaxClients will help.

For example:

ServerLimit 512

StartServers 32
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 20
MaxClients 512
MaxRequestsPerChild 1000

ServerLimit works if you set it from WHM.
But not works if you set it from config files.

You can set it from Apache Configuration -> Include Editor

Write your configuration to Pre Main Include field.
This works
