Site Crashes with multiple refreshes
Posted by shanefjordan on September 18, 2008 at 4:37pm
We are running RHEL5.1, Apache2, MySql5, PHP5 and have run into an issue. Our site runs find with normal usage, but if you hold the refresh (F5) key, then the site will crash. We have gotten it to the point that it will not crash the server, but it will take a while before the page responds (for any user). I know that this does not happen on other sites, so we are most likely missing a configuration setting somewhere. Here is what we have:
Apache
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 2
StartServers 8
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 20
