hi all

is there a way to limit the concurrent users on a vhost apache2 ?


thanks

I am amazed ... no one has ever had the same problem ?

I am looking into mod_cband ... any ideas ?

Sure you can,

Search on these configuration settings in httpd.conf (search on apache for some manuals about these config settings

ServerLimit
MaxClients
MaxRequestsPerChild

ServerLimit
MaxClients
MaxRequestsPerChild

Those are all server-wide settings and are not allowed in a VHost configuration, so I don't think it will work for the original poster.

It looks like the original poster is on the right path with mod_cband, tho. It would have to be done inside a module. If it works out for you, then please post back with your results -- I think it would still be useful for other admins.

Fortunately, I have not run into this problem with a single domain.

Oops u r right, missed that in his initial post. However cband works fine for apache2. Very simple to use!

Thanks gents

i knew about:

ServerLimit
MaxClients
MaxRequestsPerChild

already using them!!

You're absolutely right wagnerch these are server wide!

This is a very delicate operation as the system admin insists that it is not possible to do it!!

I am reading as we talk about cband, and hopefully tomorrow will set up a few vhost on one of our servers and see what happens!!

thanks for the help !
