Chapter 2 Working with Web Service 21
Conguring Web Service General Settings
You use the General settings pane in Web service to congure web server connection
settings, spare server settings, and to enable or disable Tomcat.
For more information on web server connection settings, see “Performance Tuning”
on page 31.
To congure Web service General settings:
1 Open Server Admin and connect to the server.
2 Click the triangle at the left of the server.
The list of services appears.
3 From the expanded Servers list, select Web.
4 Click Settings, then click General.
5 Enter the maximum simultaneous connections.
The default setting is 1024 connections.
This is the number of concurrent connections that are allowed to access your
web server.
6 Enter the time in seconds for the connection timeout.
The default setting is 300 seconds.
This is the length of time before a connection to your web server times out. This
happens when a user is viewing web pages but not interacting with the site.
7 Enter the number of minimum and maximum spare servers.
Spare server settings regulate the creation of idle spare server processes. Keep in mind
the following:
For maximum spare servers, if more than the maximum number of spare servers are Â
idle, the server stops adding spare servers beyond the maximum limit.
For minimum spare servers, if there are fewer than the minimum spare servers Â
required, the server adds spare servers at a rate of one per second.
8 Enter the number of servers to start.
This is the number of spare servers that get created at startup.
9 For your site to permit persistent connections, select the Allow Persistent Connections
checkbox and congure the persistent connection settings:
Set the “Maximum allowed request.” The default is 500 connections. Â
Set the “Persistent connection timeout” length in seconds. The default is 15 seconds. Â
10 Select the Enable Tomcat checkbox to turn Tomcat on.
11 Click Save.
