Description

With lighttpd 1.4.10 and server.max-connections=256 specified in lighttpd config, lighttpd ceased serving new connections (including server status page hits) when max connections was reached.

strace output of running process:

Server is still listening on ports and telnet to port succeeds, but no change in activity is shown in strace output. Commands entered via telnet ("GET /") receive no response from server.

Still there in 1.4.16; tested on a Debian system.

I think it just increases load; if you want you can try my patch below, it did stop the epoll_wait flooding on my system.

I am running into this as well.

Lighty Config:


server.max-keep-alive-requests = 500
server.max-keep-alive-idle = 2
server.max-read-idle = 5
server.max-write-idle = 360
server.max-fds = 8192

I am running into this problem on 1.4.19. I have not set server.max-connections in my config file; so presumably this is defaulting to 1024. It is not a particularly busy server and is running on very capable hardware.

I'm wondering why this patch hasn't been included in the main source? Is there something wrong with it? How should I tackle this problem - just increase server.max-connections? The load on my server is never above about 0.8, is it even likely i'm reaching server.max-connections?
