Apache threads - watching a video
| Posted by kshazad86, 10-11-2012, 10:55 AM | | I have a user on my shared server who generates over 50 Apache threads by simply watching a .mp4 video on their website.
Is there any way this can be reduced? and why does Apache create so many threads from the same IP address for watching a video?
Note: I'm running a cPanel server.

How much RAM has the VPS got?

| Posted by kshazad86, 10-11-2012, 01:52 PM | | Nope its a dedicated server and memory is not an issue.

Any ideas how I can tweak Apache so that is does use so many threads for streaming a video from a single location?
