Hi,<br><br>I'm new to Apache and web servers in general. I need to size a hardware platform for an Apache server. How does one do this? I have a ballpark of concurrent and max users and I can rough out an idea of network traffic per user. I'm limited to the HP UNIX K series platform. Number and type of CPU, number of servers, and amount of memory are variables I can play with. This is for an intranet (peoplesoft) app. Ideally I'd like a general method I could apply to other projects as they come up.<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>Rick Gebethner<br><A HREF="mailto:rg@storm.ca">rg@storm.ca</A>
 
I only know of 4-5k per active appache connection,
the real sizing comes from what you are running under this

ie. perl, cgi, java, server side java ???
How much CPU does each reqest need.

Example we have a large cgi and java server that can
handle approx 45 connection at the same time with no errors.

This is a 4 x 133Mhz IBM rs6000/ with 2 gig memory.

Anyone else for comments on this..
