Configure RLimitMEM, RlimitCPU in Apache server

[trantuangtvt]

Hi all,

Please support me!

I am using XAMPP 1.6.4 Win 32 installer to install XAMPP in Win server 2008 64bit. We have a problem with memory of server so I need to change RLimitMEM and RLimitCPU variables. But we don't know where they are and how to change those. Could you show me name of file which is keeping and how to modify them

my apache version is 2.2.6

Thanks for your support

Tuan

This does not work in XAMPP on Windows platforms as it is purely for Linux platforms.


I have just checked using a slightly newer XAMPP version than 1.6.4 by following this method below:

Make sure that this entry in the \xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf file is uncommented so it looks like this

Code: Select all

LoadModule bw_module modules/mod_bw.so

Then add this block entry at the end of the httpd.conf file like so

Code: Select all

<IfModule bw_module>
RLimitCPU 60
RLimitMEM 256000
</IfModule>

Save the file and restart Apache.
Read your \xampp\apache\logs\error.log file after starting Apache and you should see entries like this

Code: Select all

[Tue Mar 15 14:18:28 2011] [error] RLimitCPU not supported on this platform
[Tue Mar 15 14:18:28 2011] [error] RLimitMEM not supported on this platform

Which would seem that nothing has changed for these directives in Windows.

Similar example here:
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/115589

Docs here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mo ... #rlimitcpu
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mo ... #rlimitmem




Multi-Processing Modules (MPMs)
There are some entries in the \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-mpm.conf file under the section WinNT MPM that may be of use with performance issues - the other entries are for different systems.

List of Directives for WinNT MPM here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mpm_winnt.html



You should add this Directive at the end of the httpd.conf file, if it is not already included

Code: Select all

Win32DisableAcceptEx

which may also help performance - see the above docs.

Good luck.

hi Sharley,

Thanks for your reply. I try to research about that but I still not find my answer...

this is my issue:

FATAL: erealloc(): Unable to allocate 468538 bytes
[Mon Mar 14 14:32:20 2011] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 1 -- Restarting.

My apache server of XAMPP is restarted automaticaly after 3-5 minutes. Some guys show me to change number of threads to smaller and I also try to set the current number of thread is 70 ( default 250) but the issue is still happening. Do you have any idea to fix "FATAL: erealloc():" error. I know that it is difficult to fix .... not only me but also a lot of guys have faced it in case they use XAMPP

[Sharley]

Find all instances of

Code: Select all

Win32DisableAcceptEx

Comment it out so it looks like this

Code: Select all

#Win32DisableAcceptEx

Save the configuration files you find it in and then restart Apache and see if the error returns in the error.log file again.

Also I see that increasing the Windows swap file may help if the above fails.

Finally if all else fails then uninstall XAMPP 1.6.4 - readme_en.txt file has instructions for uninstalling - don't forget to make a copy of your own files and data.

Download and install version 1.6.8 as I find that version quite stable.
Download 1.6.8 from here.
