APACHE: limit max connections from the same IP ?
 

hellow everybody

I've compliled the mod_limitipconn.c into httpd kernel(static),
#httpd -l has list mod_limitipconn.c out

and

# vi /var/www/conf/httpd.conf

<IfModule mod_limitipconn.c>
<Location />
MaxConnPerIP 3
</Location>
</IfModule>

# httpd -S
syntax ok

but after I started newly compiled httpd
and

# netstat -ant|grep my-server-ip:80

I still found a lot of connections from same IP(s).
Is there something I have to do to make the mod_limitipconn.c
work ?

Thanks a ton !!!

Hi,

You don't mention mod_status, maybe that is the problem:

Notes:

This module will not function unless mod_status is loaded and the
"ExtendedStatus On" directive is set.

The limits defined by mod_limitipconn.c apply to all IP addresses
connecting to your Apache server. Currently there is no way to set
different limits for different IP addresses.

Hope this helps.

# ./httpd -l
Compiled in modules:
core.c
mod_access.c
mod_auth.c
mod_include.c
mod_log_config.c
mod_env.c
mod_setenvif.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_mime.c
mod_limitipconn.c
mod_status.c
mod_autoindex.c
mod_asis.c
mod_cgi.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_dir.c
mod_imap.c
mod_actions.c
mod_userdir.c
mod_alias.c
mod_so.c

Look, mod_status.c was compiled into httpd

and ExtendedStatus was set to on already(apache version 2.0.53)

put it into commonhttpd.conf not in httpd.conf to get it work.
