MaxClients error

[William McKee <wi...@knowmad.com>]

Hi Stas et al,

I'm receiving the following error message in the error.log output during
my tests:

  [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting

So, I added the line 'MaxClients 5' to my extra.conf.in and reconfigured
the server. I'm still getting the error. I checked that extra.conf was
properly rebuilt and checked httpd.conf to make sure that extra.conf was
being included after the other calls that set MaxClients to 1. It
appears to me that is the case. Can someone tell me what I'm overlooking
or what setting I should be modifying to stop receiving this error in my
logs?


Thanks,
William

May be because you can set it only once?

In any case, the proper way to set it is via override of new_test_config in 
t/TEST.PL or whereever you defined the sub-class of Apache::TestRunPerl that 
you run from t/TEST

use constant MIN_MAXCLIENTS => 5;

sub new_test_config {
     my $self = shift;

     $self->{conf_opts}->{maxclients} ||= MIN_MAXCLIENTS;

     return $self->SUPER::new_test_config;
}

Look at modperl-2.0/ModPerl-Registry/t/TEST.PL
