Im trying to tuneup my LAMP and would like to run the apache benchmark to see how many concurrent connections can the server handle on stress

from where do i have to run the ab? is it from the webserver or it has to be from a remote machine ?

thanks.

Well then it should be fairly obvious. If you run it on your server, then it is going to impact the performance of your server. You will not get a true answer about how your server performs under load since some of your server resources will be devoted to running the benchmark.

What you may need to do is setup a computer, or possibly several computers to act as clients. If you have good hardware, and things are setup really well, you might not be able to actually stress out a server from a single client machine.

    thanks for your answer zoredache, i know the question seems stupid but when i have doubts i think its better to ask. when i was trying from the server i was getting "better" results and thats when i get confused :/ im new to linux – 웃mauri Sep 10 '11 at 02:01
