Optimize Apache Performance in CentOS 7

 Optimize Apache Performance in CentOS 7

Requirements:

• A server running CentOS v.7
• Apache installed and running

MaxKeepAliveRequests :-

#sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

or

#sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

And Add the following line:

MaxKeepAliveRequests 500

KeepAliveTimeout :-

#sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

or

#sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following line:

KeepAliveTimeout 5

KeepAlive :-

#sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

or

#sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following line:

KeepAlive on

Configure MPM Prefork :-

One of the reason of Apache performance is that Apache having trouble coping with the load.

The Apache MPM (Multi-Processing Module) can help.

mpm_prefork_module is included and enabled in the default Apache installation on CentOS 7. To confirm this run the following command:

# sudo apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES |grep mpm

You should see mpm_prefork_module (shared) if mod_deflate is installed and enabled.

#sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

or

#sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines:

KeepAlive Off

<IfModule prefork.c>

   StartServers        5

   MinSpareServers     5

   MaxSpareServers     10

   MaxClients          150

   MaxRequestsPerChild 3000

</IfModule>

Save and close the file, then restart Apache to reflect these changes.

# sudo apachectl restart
