Hi Daryl, Typically when I see a core dump when running siege, it is a resource issue. Out of memory, and/or I've reached the ulimit on my machine and need to set it higher. The limit is 1024 (displayed via ulimit -n), and can be changed via ulimit -n <value>. This change isn't persistent - and the setting can be changed permanently by editing /etc/sysconfig/security/limits.conf.
I typically set it to something unrealistically high, and the machine will always run out of memory before hitting the ulimit. - Ryan On Fri, Aug 21, 2015 at 9:49 AM, Daryl King <allnatives.onl...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am running Apache 2.4.10 with mpm_event on a Debian 8 vps.
