Maximum number of simultaneous CGIs on iPlanet Web Server 6.0

I have installed iPlanet Web Server 6.0 on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP2 machine. I have configured a directory as CGI directory. The actual CGI is an exe written using C++.
Now when I try to access this CGI from the browser, only 1 CGI is loaded at a time even if I send requests for multiple CGIs. I have added the following lines to my "magnus.conf" file:
RqThrottle 128
MinCGIStubs 10
CGIExpirationTimeout 36000
MaxCGIStubs 100
CGIStubIdleTimeout 0
But still the CGI launching is being serialized with only 1 CGI being launched at a time. What could be the reason for this? Can anyone help me out on this one?
Thanks in advance.
Varun Goswami

You can try adding the following directive to your config\magnus.conf configuration file:
KernelThreads 1
This directive instructs the web server to use native (kernel) threads to service requests.

Which is the maximum number of simultaneous IP sessions on 7600 with/out SAMI?

Please I need help from someone who has ever wondered and get to know the maximum number of simultaneous IP sessions on 7600.
On the documentation, this is the applicable information that we find regarding the number of sessions:
http://www9.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/isg/configuration/guide/isg_acess_sub_sessns_ps6922_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html
Beginning in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE, the Cisco 7600 router supports IP subscriber sessions only on the SIP400 and ES+ line cards
The Cisco 7600 router enforces limits on the number of IP subscriber sessions per line card and router chassis. If the number of active sessions exceeds the following limits, an error message displays:
- Cisco 7600 chassis—32,000 subscriber sessions (supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE1 and later releases)
- ES+ line card—4000 subscriber sessions per port group; 16,000 sessions per line card (supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE and later releases)
- SIP400 line card—8000 subscriber sessions (supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRD4 and later releases)
Let us suppose that we use the SIP400 line card, since ES+ is far from our networking requirements.
Please confirm/answer the following:
No special license is required to use ISG with SIP400.
Is the 8000 session limitation per SIP400 module or per SPA attached to it?
I read in the documentation, that the SAMI card enhances the maximum number of ISG sessions:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/isg/configuration/guide/isg_sup_sami_blade.html
The ISG Support for SAMI Blade feature combines the subscriber management features and functions of the Cisco Intelligent Services Gateway (ISG) with the processing power of the Cisco Service Application Module for IP (SAMI). The Cisco SAMI blade has six PowerPC (PPC) processors and occupies just one slot in the Cisco 7600 series router. This means that you can support many ISG features for up to 600,000 subscribers on a single router.
We then assume that the SAMI blade overcomes the limitations noted above: 32,000 session/chassis and 8,000 sessions/SIP400. Correct?
No extra license is required to use ISG with SAMI.

How I can load a license in a home agent (modulo SAMI), which is installed in a 7606-S router?.

Maximum Number of Simultaneous Requests

I want to update the Maximum Number of Simultaneous Requests
from 4 to 6 or 8. A restart of ColdFusion Application Server is
required for changes to take effect. Has anyone experienced
problems with the change not taking effect and/or causing the
service to not restart.
This has not happened. Being precautionary. The reason for
the question is that I made a change previously to the Max Heap
size from 1023 to 1535 in CF Admin, but when I attempted to restart
the CF service it would not. Finally had to change the Max Heap in
jvm.config back to 1023. Unsure why that would not accept it. The
variable is that the service is running with a non-admin user ID on
the server. Thoughts?

The prevailing wisdom from Adobe for simultaneous requests is
very wrong and inaccurate. First off, editing the simultaneous
requests in the CFAdmin is safe to do. Editing your JVM settings
with the CFAdmin is very dangerous on Linux because the CF Admin
code can mangle the xml file. I'm not sure if this is true on
Windows.
Now back to the simultaneous requests issue. If you have high
traffic and enough server processing power you can greatly increase
the request number. We currently run our CFMX 7.02 servers set to
100 simultaneous requests. And yes we've been maxed out at that
level. We see over 1.5 million page views per day on a single cf
server with only one instance of CF. As of today we switched to a
load balanced setup and split the load across two servers. The
reason we went load balanced is that we're expecting to more than
double our traffic. Anyways, the number of simultaneous requests
can be much higher than the 'General Wisdom' at Adobe.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I've seen the new setting for
simultaneous requests take effect with out having to restart CFMX.
Cheers,

Maximum number of simultaneous Template requests

I am running a CF-server (standard) on a
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5420 @ 2.50GHz, 8 cores
I have read somewhere on the net that you can set 8-10 maximum number of simultaneous template requests per core, which in my case
would be 64-80 simultaneous template requests.
Is that a correct assumption?
This does feel quite high considering the default value of the server is 10 simultaneous requests.
//Toby

It is the common rule of thumb, but that does not make it the correct or incorrect assumption.
What it does make is a common and usefull starting point, with the strong assumption that one will then load test ones system to make sure the setting accually works well with ones applications and hardware. And that one will then adjust accordingly based on the testing.

Maximum number of simultaneous Template requests coldfusion 10 standard is not working

I tried to change the setting to 5 and submit changes, under request tuning setting ->
Maximum number of simultaneous Template requests is still showing as 0 even after the Coldfusion service restart.
thanks

Hi
In ColdFusion 10 Standard the Simultaneous requests should be equals to 10 or more than 10 however in ColdFusion 10 Enterprise there is no such restriction, the value can be of a single numeric digit as well like 5,4,6 or so on.
You can consider this as a benefit of running ColdFusion 10 enterprise
Thanks

Global data in a servlet using iPlanet Web Server

Our configuration is an Applet->Servlet->JNI->C/C++ code.
We have C code that does a number of lengthy mathematical calculations. This C code not only uses its own global variables but, it is also comprised of numerous subroutines that all call each other, reading and writing global C variables as they go. These globals are all isolated to the C code shareable object (.so) library that is included using the LoadLibrary call when the servlet is initialized.
The problem is that in a multi-user environment (3-5 simultaneous users) we need to have each user have their own "copy" of the servlet (and the C code) so that users will not be accessing each other's global data. We can NOT have only one copy of the C code and define it as synchronized because the calculations that are performed can take a very long time and we can not hold off user requests while the firs user finishes.
Our hope is that there is a way to configure the iPlanet Web server such that each new user that starts up a copy of the Applet/Servlet combination will get their own "space" so that they can work independently of any other user. We have at most 20 users of this system and only 3-5 simultaneous users so we should not have a problem with memory or CPU speed.
If anyone has a solution, I would greatly appreciate it!

The C library is shareable. But you don't want it to be shared. That's your question summarized, isn't it?
You probably can't prevent it from being shared, so to prevent multiple use of it you would have to queue up the requests to be done one at a time. WynEaston's suggestion of having the servlet implement SingleThreadModel would help, but I believe the servlet spec allows servers to run multiple copies of a servlet that does that (as opposed to running a single copy in multiple threads).
Your other alternative is to rewrite the math in Java, or at least in some object-oriented language where you don't need global variables (which are the source of your problem). All right, I can already hear you saying "But that wouldn't be as fast!" Maybe not, but that isn't everything. Now you have a problem in queueing theory: do you want a single server that's fast, but jobs have to wait for it, or do you want multiple servers that aren't as fast, but jobs don't have to wait? That's a question you would have to evaluate based on the usage of your site, and it isn't an easy one.

Using Struts Example in IPlanet web Server 6.0

Hai
     i am new to struts and i was trying to run the example application shiped along with the binary distribution
     in iplanet webserver 6.0.
     I have extracted the struts-example.war file in to a folder named strutsexamples under my iplanetdocroot\servers\docs\ Using the
     link DeployWebApplications in the admin side of the iplanet application.
     By doing the above steps all the example files are extracted in to the folder iplanetdocroot\servers\docs\strutsexamples directory .
Problem 1:      when i restarted the server i found the following error in the log file

Hi,
Already solved the problem, only needed the charset for JAVA.
Anyway for future reference for others re internationalization in iPlanet...
1. Place your resource bundles in <path to your instance>/WEB-INF/classes/
2. Place your i18n tag library (as for me it is taglibs-i18n.tld) in <path to your instance>/WEB-INF/
3. Place your i18n API (as for me it is taglibs-i18n.jar) in <path to your instance>/WEB-INF/lib if it is a jar file, else <path to your instance>/WEB-INF/classes.
4. Add taglib element in your web deployment descriptor file (web.xml):
<taglib>
     <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/taglibs-i18n.tld</taglib-uri>
     <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/taglibs-i18n.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
NOTE:
Make sure the DTD reference for your web.xml points to http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd. Old version was http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd. Please update your application to use the new name.
5. Add the following to the JVM classpath in SUNONE:
5.a. <path to your JRE lib>/charsets.jar (for charsets for JAVA)
5.b. <path to your instance>/WEB-INF/classes/ (directory where your resource bundles are)
6. Restart the instance.
This will work either for pre-compiled and uncompiled jsps.
Hope this will help.
my 2 cents,
Eson.

JDBC persistence of session data not working on iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition 6.0 SP2

I am using windows 2000.
iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition 6.0 SP2
I tried to do jdbc persistence for sessiondata.
Somehow it didn't work.
I edited the JdbcStore code and added some system.outs in it.
From the logs I could note that
It is going into
JdbcStore.init(Properties config)//when the server starts up
JdbcStore.reap(long currentTime) //when the server is brought down
But it is not going into
JdbcStore.save(IWSHttpSession session)
JdbcStore.remove(IWSHttpSession session)
JdbcStore.load(IWSHttpSession session)
I did a "select count(*) from sessions" and it got me
no of rows=0.
The logs contained
[06/Mar/2002:11:25:09] info ( 552): IWSSessionManager: Maximum number of sessions is 1000
[06/Mar/2002:11:25:10] info ( 552): IWSSessionManager: Maximum number of sessions is 1000
[06/Mar/2002:11:25:14] info ( 552): JdbcStore: initialized with url=jdbc:odbc:LocalServer, driver=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
So I should think it was working.
The pages that are using HttpSession are working ok but should I not get some rows in my table "sessions" when I query?
This is the webapps.xml I used.

I'm trying to do the same thing with a file store, also somewhat unsuccessfully. However, one thing I can point out is that the manual says that the <session-manager> element should be within the <web-app> element in web-apps.xml. In your example, it is outside of it.

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout).

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout). It is as if the server has decided that the client has timed out during the file upload. The default setting is 30 seconds for AcceptTimeout in the magnus.conf file. This should be ample to get the file across, even increasing this to 2 minutes just produces the same error after 2 minutes. Any help appreciated. Apologies if this is not the correct forum for this, I couldn't see one for iPlanet and Web, many thanks, Kieran.

Hi,
You didnt mention which version of IWS. follow these steps.
(1)Goto Web Server Administration Server, select the server you want to manage.
(2)Select Preference >> Perfomance Tuning.
(3)set HTTP Persistent Connection Timeout to your choice (eg 180 sec for three minutes)
(4) Apply changes and restart the server.
*Setting the timeout to a lower value, however, may prevent the transfer of large files as timeout does not refer to the time that the connection has been idle. For example, if you are using a 2400 baud modem, and the request timeout is set to 180 seconds, then the maximum file size that can be transferred before the connection is closed is 432000 bits (2400 multiplied by 180)

Is there a restriction on length of Http request posted to a Iplanet Web Server ?

I am submitting an Http Request by POST method to my server. The request will be received and forwarded by Iplanet Web Server to a clustered Weblogic environment, which will then be handled by Java Servlets. The problem I am facing is that when the length of the request shoots up to around 2000 bytes, NES doesn't receive and forward the request to Weblogic. There is no fixed cut-off for the length, it keeps fluctuating.
I observed the following after hitting the server hundreds of times with Http Requests that vary in length.
1) If length of Request is below 1500 bytes, request always goes through successfully.
2) In a range of 1500 bytes to 2000 bytes, request fails most of the times. (Around 80 %)
3) Requests with length above 2000K invariably fail, though it just worked for a 2.4K request on one occasion (out of some 100 hits)
Note that by "length of request", I mean the data I post through Http Request (I just have a single parameter in Http request having the literal "XML" as key and a well formed XML document as value. That is equivalent to submitting a HTML form just having a text area called "XML" containing a XML document. )
I presume that the length of actual Http Request is slightly greater than that of XML (probably by around 100 bytes).
My Iplanet documentation says that the upper limit on the length of a POST Http Request is 64 K, which is way above the value (2-3 K) at which I am facing the problem.

Hi Ganesh
Did you check the HTTP Persistent timeout of your server? Check the value which has been set up by default. Try increasing the timeout value and try again.
follow these steps it might solve your problem:
(1)Goto Web Server Administration Server, select the server you want to manage.
(2)Select Preference >> Perfomance Tuning.
(3)set HTTP Persistent Connection Timeout to your choice (eg 180 sec for three minutes)(note : if you are posting large amount of data or file increase the value accordingly)
(4) Apply changes and restart the server.
*Setting the timeout to a lower value, however, may prevent the transfer of large files as timeout does not refer to the time that the connection has been idle. For example, if you are using a 2400 baud modem, and the request timeout is set to 180 seconds, then the maximum file size that can be transferred before the connection is closed is 432000 bits (2400 multiplied by 180)
If this doesnot solve your problem notify me

The requests are not passing through to the app server when i try to access it through port 80.
Presently I am testing my appln over port 81 on the app server.

Each ObjectType and Service directive should begin on a new line. You appear to have placed two directives on a single line.

IPlanet web server auto restart when user login or logout the NT server

Configuration
- NT Server 4.0 SP6a
- iPlanet Web Server 6.0 SP4
- JDK 1.3.1_03
- NT audit turned on for the file <iPlanet WS 60 instance home>/config/password.conf
We encounter a problem that when a user login / logout NT machine, the iplanet web server would be restart automatically.
Could somebody advise why this happen and how it can be solved?
There is a box called "Allow service to interact with desktop" in the service startup menu. What is it means and did it related to the problem?

I think you are running into this:
