I'm starting to host multiple domains on my Win 2K Pro machine with Apache 1.3.2 Win32 installed; Serv-U FTP server and Mail Enable Pro mail server. What is my limitation for simultaneous connections as far as browsing and FTP? What would it be for a standard Win 2K Server machine with the default licensing? Can't afford Win 2K Server right now. Thanks.

How many connections in Win2K/Apache?

Hi,
Not sure what you mean - i.e. technical limitations or license limitations. If the latter, there is no limit on connections whatsoever ( If you mean technically, then its really down to the performance of the hardware or whether the different versions of windows have finite limits to how many threads can be handled at one time. As long as you have 'MaxRequestsPerChild 0' (no limit) then apache will not apply any limits. Obviously the more ram you have and the faster disk subsystem the better. See -->
The ftp server is a different matter as thats commercial s/w -->
Hope this helps

Thanks, licensing was what I meant. I was thinking under Win 2000 server and IIS, there would be license limitations, and additional licenses would have to be purchased. Perhaps I'm confusing that with network connections.
Currently I'm running an AMD K6-2 400 MHz machine, 384 Mb RAM, 7200 RPM 40 Gb hard drive with ATA-100 card installed. It seems to serve very quickly. The only issue I've had is that I killed the server yesterday by asking for 50 files (24 Mb) to be downloaded. The connection hung twice, and on the 3rd try I lost e-mail and FTP serving. Had to reboot the machine when I got home.
