The default config in RHL9 has: "KeepAlive Off" I'm not sure where you got "false" from. It's off by default deliberately; enabling keepalive can tie up server children which can actually hurt performance on high-volume sites. I got it from a fresh RH9 installation. I was wondering if somebody else had changed it, so I checked my server at home (which nobody else has access to) and it was 'false' on that one, as well. It was also a fresh RH9 installation. Maybe my ISOs are old and the problem has already been fixed. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529 Description of problem: After a new installation of RH9, the KeepAlive setting in the httpd.conf file says: # # KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than # one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate. # KeepAlive false The documentation clearly states that should be 'On' or 'Off', in both the config file and the Apache docs. Also, please consider changing the default to "On" since this gives significantly better performance. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RH9 Actual Results: Config file uses 'false' for the KeepAlive setting. Expected Results: The KeepAlive setting should be 'On' or 'Off', with the Apache default being 'On'. Additional info:
