Tuning IBM HTTP Server to maximize the number of client connections to WebSphere Application Server

Troubleshooting


Problem

Out of the box, IBM HTTP Server supports a maximum of 600 concurrent connections. Performance will suffer if load dictates more concurrent connections, as incoming requests will be queued up by the host operating system. You can increase the number of maximum connections allowed by IBM HTTP Server by editing the httpd.conf file.
