[cobalt-users] connections to HTTP port 80 are being rejected.

["Filiberto Ricci" <filiberto@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

sorry if I post this again, but I've still a big problem.

I'm very often not able to browse any more my sites.
ftp, telnet, mail server are working properly.
Visualroute 5.0 (a windows program  with which you get more info than with a
"tracert" )
gave me this answer:
"Node 'www.idely.net' was found in 18 hops (TTL=235).
connections to HTTP port 80 are being rejected."

I can normally access the control panel with this url:
http://208.155.69.17:81/.cobalt/sysManage.

Resouce on my raq4 are lightly loaded (CPU<1%, RAM =~ 30%).

In the apache error log file I found:
[Wed Nov 22 13:10:02 2000] [error] server reached MaxClients setting,
consider raising the MaxClients setting

So I set in httpd.conf these value

LogLevel info  #was warn

MinSpareServers 12  #was 5
MaxSpareServers 70
#was 20

StartServers 12
#was 5

MaxClients 512
#was 300

I didn't get any more that [error] message, but now I'm getting this [info]
message in my error log file.

Should I increase apache config parameters more?
Anyway I often can't browse my sites.
Why  port 80 often reject connections?

Thanks very much,

Filiberto
