I'm running "ab2 -n10000 -c1" to stress my lighttp + scgi + python configuration. but I receive time outs (???) If I'm doing a "netstat -a", I can see such tings (+4000 lines): tcp 0 0 localhost:4000 localhost:59313 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 localhost:4000 localhost:51089 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 localhost:4000 localhost:58545 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 localhost:4000 localhost:50321 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 localhost:4000 localhost:58801 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 localhost:4000 localhost:50577 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 localhost:4000 localhost:58033 TIME_WAIT What's the problem ? lighttpd ? scgi ? Where to look first ? My config is: - lighttpd-1.4.10 - scgi-1.10 - server.event-handler = "linux-sysepoll" (I'm on gentoo with kernel-2.6.15) lighttpd was compiled with (Gentoo USE): +bzip2, +doc, +fam, +fastcgi, +gdbm, +lua, +memcache +pcre, +rrdtol, +ssl, +webdav, +xattr -ipv6, -ldap, -minimal, -mysql, -php, -test Thanks PS: same post on the lighttpd mailing list (for follow-up) http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.lighttpd/3611 -- William: http://www.opensource4you.com
