Websocket Connection limit how to set ?

Asked by cihad
Hi there, I programmed a WebSocket server in Java, with the Javax WebSocket library My operating systems are local Windows 10, Cloud Server on Ubuntu, Web Server Apache2 + Tomcat I’m doing my tests on both sides My problem; After 256 connections, other sockets are on hold and if I open some more sockets, the web server crashes and does not respond to any requests. I’ve searched the internet a lot, I applied what I saw but could not solve the problem. I thought the problem was due to java, I tried it in nodejs (npm express-ws lib), tested it locally, but the same problem happens after the 456 is connected. Please I need help I apologize for broken language. Thanks.

Hi @cihad,
I might be wrong buf if you are using Apache, you might have filled up Apache’s available workers. I think the default value was exactly 256.
You can open your Apache configuration file. In there you should see something similar to:
Increase both the ServerLimit and MaxClients options, restart Apache and see if this would solve your issue.
