Debian and ulimits
 
Hi all,

I need to tune my web server (Debian squeeze 64bit, Apache-worker, MySQL).
During bechmark test, I got this kind of error:

Quote:
[Mon Feb 27 17:04:22 2012] [alert] (11)Resource temporarily unavailable: apr_thread_create: unable to create worker thread
[Mon Feb 27 17:04:22 2012] [apc-error] apc_mmap: mmap failed: Cannot allocate memory
Out of memory (Needed 593128 bytes)
[apc-error] apc_mmap: mmap failed: Cannot allocate memory
So I think I must increase some limits of www-data user.
I put this in /etc/security/limits.conf:

Quote:
@www-data hard nproc 0
but if I do:

su - www-data
ulimit -a

I don't see any difference.
What is the correct way to adjust those settings for Apache user in Debian?
Thankyou

You may need to install LSWS(Lite Speed Web Server) with root user in order to lift the memory limit imposed by the OS by default.

After that try "ulimit -a", raise the memory then start LSWS, see if it helps.
