Problem with apache
Hi,
Today I've had a few problems with apache, wonder if anyone know's a solution:
doing netstat -an
I get lots of (hundreds) lines like this
tcp 0 0 my.ip:80 74.63.229.204:2622 SYN_RECV
I also have a lot of ESTABLISHED and TIME_WAIT connections (high in my servers port range 40000+ but on the connecting ip it's port 80 most of the time. My apache has spawned loads of processes and loads very slowly or times out.
Any help?

Slowloris Flood? Maybe or a HTTP Flood GET/Post
Thanks for the info. I've put squid in front of apache now which has restored the sites load time. Only problem is wordpress doesn't want to work with squid ;(
Try something easier such as Cloudflare and set the security to high, Also is this a VPS or shared hosting
Just switching to nginx can be a solution.
you can't run netstat with shared hosting
Wow. You seems to stuck in 2004? SSH is allowed on many web-hosters.
this is because apache usually opens a new thread for each couple of connections. switch to apache-mpm if you must use htaccess, or choose nginx/lighttpd
My partial solution is to put varnish in front of apache instead of squid. Still getting a bit of load but much less and sites load quickly so it'll do
Thanks for the help
Ever heard of shell access on cpanel, must not.
I must have been outdated, back then while i used sharing hosting, there was no ssh
