Hi all
Running 1.3.2 on a pentium II with 96 meg ram,
precompiled apache 1.3.1 and perl-5.00404 from the
packages, running cgi scripts calling web pages,
I am getting the following error
log messages, and customers are not getting
served:
[Mon Sep 7 08:18:59 1998] [error] (35)Resource temporarily unavailable:
couldn't spa
wn child process: /usr/home/adscgi/cgi-bin/ads1.cgi
Compiling a kernel upping the users defined to 64
include "arch/i386/conf/std.i386"
maxusers 64 # estimated number of user
compiles ok, and thus as I understand, increases
the following parameters:-
Maximum # of processes
Maximum # of processes per user
System wide open files limit
Per-process open files limit
Maximum # of mbuf clusters
Proc/pgrp hash table size
However, it now falls over to the debug prompt
with the following warning:-
panic vm_map_entry_create out of map entries
stopped at _Debugger +0x4 :leave
A guess at this being virtual memory map settings ?
Does anyone have any advice on successful tweaks
to a kernel I can do for a high load web/cgi server ?
Thanks
