[Apache maxclients problem]

Hi,

 

I'm running an apache server with php and a  mysql backend for an AJAX chat system. The system needs to support ~300 people eventually but at the moment it needs to be supporting ~200 but I'm struggling. The system keeps hitting the "MaxClients" limit on the apache server. I thought I'd uped it to 2000 users and 3000 for the server limit, but I'm still hitting the limit.

 

Should I be using "Persistent connections" or not is my first question. The other question is how can I check what the maxclients setting it?

 

Thanks for any and all help.

[Backup Script]

Hi all.

I'm trying to find a PHP based backup script that will generate a downloadable compressed file/archive of all files and folders on my website. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? If not, how hard would it be to make?

Thanks for your help.

[PHP Membership system]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Not sure where to post.

I'm trying to find a php/mySQL system for club/society membership records? Basically I want it to keep track of member details and also to have the ability to have sheets that you can add people to for event sign-up and then have options for ticking who's paid etc.

I've been trying to make my own, but I'm struggling at the moment. Does anyone know of a pre-made system else I'm going to have quite a few more questions :)

Thanks for any and all help.

Andrew.
