Something wrong with my apache...

[somik]

My /var/log/httpd/error_log

WARNING: MaxClients of 2000 exceeds ServerLimit value of 10 servers,
 lowering MaxClients to 10.  To increase, please see the ServerLimit
 directive.

My /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers       15
MinSpareServers    15
MaxSpareServers   50
ServerLimit      2000
MaxClients       2000
MaxRequestsPerChild  4000
</IfModule>

Even though i set the server limit to 2000 its still saying server limit is 10...


What should i do? 10 connections means if i open site with a browser, and start to download a file with IDM, all 10 connections are utilized so my server is inaccessible by everyone else...

I am using CentOS 5.5 on a OpenVZ VPS. The OS template is from OpenVZ wiki. The httpd was installed with:

yum install httpd -y

Please help!

You need to fully stop, and then start the server for the serverlimit directive to take effect.

service httpd stop
service httpd start
