I'm trying to configure apache to react faster. Currently I experience heavy lags and huge response times. When I googled for answers, there were articles mentioning KeepAlive, MaxClients and AllowOverride so my focus is on them for now, I guess. I just don't seem to find them.

Here is a the phpinfo(); output:

apache2handler

xbithack                0               0

Maybe somebody can explain this output to me? I particular:

  1. "Timeouts" = "Connection: 60" setting

  2. "Per Child" = "0" setting

    If I understand this right:

    • there are 60 connections to be allowed simultaneously
    • every connection has a maximum of 100 requests (why so many?)
    • the server allows a client to load all the ressources in one request for 5 seconds
  3. maybe those settings are to be found in httpd.conf and not in php.ini? (right now I don't have access to those files)

As far as I know the Timeouts relates to how longer the server will wait for connection, with 60 seconds being the default.

The Per Child bit has to do with how many threads your running per child process.

I'm a bit vague on this stuff but have a read through the docs and you should find all the explainations you need!
