Can’t get apache to open more than 10 spare server processes

Filed under: Linux — Tags: , , , — admin @ 3:04 pm

Hello
Today I face another strange problem. Some friend tell me that he wait some time to load a page but when is executed is under 0.1 second and .. the serevr don’t have load . Well I say from first maxclient is reaching. OK we take a look on error_log and the problem is there maxclient reached condiser increasing .. bla bla …

I go into httpd.conf there was 256 I say something strange modify the value give the restart to apache, problem persist. After a ps aux|grep httpd I see only 9 httpd. I increase min and max server , still nothing. Well every modification that I was doing under preforck.c it was like I didn’t change anything.
So after a short period I nottice that there was another file on conf.d swtune.conf ( /etc/httpd/conf.d/swtune.conf ) where min server was 1 and so on.

The solution is to erase that file, or modify it.

FreeBsd bash tab completion

Filed under: Linux — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 10:23 am

Hello
Today I have to work on a system with FreeBSD7.0-RELEASE-p5 . Well after login I nottice that tab autocomplete don’t work. Hmm this in linux is quite handy. So .. after a little search I see that I didn’t use bash but sh.
So to check your shell run this command:
echo $SHELL

If you see something like this
/bin/sh

you may want to switch to bash.
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash

After relogin the tab completion should work.
