好的，我正在运行 Ubuntu LTS 12，使用 virtualmin gpl 来托管几个小网站。在设置过程中，大多数情况下，所有设置都恢复为默认设置，它运行在分配了 8gb 内存的 vps 上，主要使用 wordpress 网站，因此我将 MySql 使用量设置为 2gb（它允许的最大值），因为我有足够的空闲内存（我节点上有 24gb，目前只有 1 个其他 vps）。在过去的两天里，下午 1 点到 3 点之间，网站突然变得太慢，甚至无法访问（需要 5 分钟或更长时间才能加载），即使是静态页面也是如此。但是 virtualmin 本身运行良好且快速，在这个节点上的其他 VPS 上运行的网站也是如此。所以似乎只有 apchache 目前遇到了这个问题。此外，运行 Top 没有显示任何资源的额外使用，根据 virtualmin，我只使用了 7.9 gb 可用的 2.8 gb 内存。主机运行的是centos 6 64位，使用openvz作为虚拟环境。
重启无法解决问题。我下一步应该检查什么？
这是我的 Apache 配置文件：
#
# Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
#
# This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ for detailed information about
# the directives.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#
# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
# 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a
# whole (the 'global environment').
# 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server,
# which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
# These directives also provide default values for the settings
# of all virtual hosts.
# 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
# different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
# same Apache server process.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "/etc/apache2" will be interpreted by the
# server as "/etc/apache2/foo.log".
#
### Section 1: Global Environment
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
#
#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
# mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation (available
# at <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#lockfile>);
# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
#
# Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.
#
#ServerRoot "/etc/apache2"
#
# The accept serialization lock file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK.
#
LockFile ${APACHE_LOCK_DIR}/accept.lock
#
# PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process
# identification number when it starts.
# This needs to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars
#
PidFile ${APACHE_PID_FILE}
#
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 300
#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
#
KeepAlive On
#
# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.
#
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
#
# KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the
# same client on the same connection.
#
KeepAliveTimeout 5

# DefaultType is the default MIME type the server will use for a document
# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is
# a good value. If most of your content is binary, such as applications
# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to
# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
# text.
#
# It is also possible to omit any default MIME type and let the
# client's browser guess an appropriate action instead. Typically the
# browser will decide based on the file's extension then. In cases
# where no good assumption can be made, letting the default MIME type
# unset is suggested instead of forcing the browser to accept
# incorrect metadata.

问题是您没有允许太多 MaxClients。根据您使用的是 Prefork、Worker 还是 Event，您必须调整设置以允许超过 10 个 MaxClients。当服务器有 10 个客户端时，所有其他客户端都必须等待。这不好。必须根据您的内存使用情况以及服务器资源仔细计算此数字。有很多很好的指南可以教您如何做到这一点：
http://fuscata.com/kb/set-maxclients-apache-prefork
10 非常非常低。请随意搜索有关 Apache 调优的其他答案。其他数字也应进行调整，还有 KeepAlive 设置。每个服务器都不同，您的问题没有确切的答案。通常，我的托管 Wordpress 并具有 3.7GB RAM 的服务器往往最多有 70-80 个客户端。
