Optimizing apache

Hi

Anyone here have any tips for optimizing the performance of Apache? Specifically how to decide on a good value for maxclients in httpd.conf?

Thanks

I had a max of 30 sec timeouts, 400 clients.
It is bad for larger sites, but it was good enough for me.

Also, if you use PHP, the equation changes ENTIRELY!

Depends what do you unerstand through apache optimization. You can use mod_cache/mod_proxy or just do a RAID 1 with your disks. Also you can change

MinSpareThreads 25
MaxSpareThreads 75
ThreadsPerChild 25

Also, you can benchmark your apache server using a built in function. It does not test PHP if you have it installed.
