Apache PHP connections

  • 772

I installed a site on a new Ubuntu server. When I'm downloading something from that site, the server doesn't accept additional connections from that user.

If I click on one link it doesn't respond until the download finishes.

Any idea why this happens in Apache, what in the configuration should I change?

Regards,
Pedro

connection php apache-2.2

    The HTTP1.1 standard limits client connections to web servers to 2 concurrent connections. This is a client limitation, not a server limitation and you can increase it.

    Changing limit in IE5.5+

    Changing limit in Firefox

  2. This is possibly more related to the client, rather than the server

    What application are you downloading with?

    If memory serves, Firefox (for instance) defaults to a small number of connections to the same server. Apache, I don't think, doesn't limit the number of connections from a client by default
