Pre-sale questions and lsws tweaking

I increased the limit from php.ini to 512M
and 1000M, 1200M in lsphp5.

I tried to refresh vbulletin's online.php files 15 times after the error message and i was loaded once.

Edit: I disabled memcache-memcached option of my vbseo script and it seems to be working fine now with the old php settings. A conflict with memcached?

I have xcache and memcache installed on my web server and memcached installed on my db server.

Edit: Hmm... no. When i try to view 200 online users per page, the same error is displayed. I disabled php error warnings when i was playing with the lsws settings and i can't find where to enable it again. It displays a blank white page instead of the error message. Where can i enable it?

the php error configuration is in php.ini
You should increase the limit in php.ini to match the soft limit.
xcache and memcached may allocate a lot more memory, those will be counted towarding the limit.

Alright, it's directly related to caching as you said (xcache, memcached). I increased the limits as below and the problem seems to be fixed for now.

Max Connections: 50
PHP_LSAPI_MAX_REQUESTS=500
PHP_LSAPI_CHILDREN=50

lsphp5 memory soft limit: 512M
lsphp5 memory hard limit: 768M
(under security tab settings are same with the above)

lsphp5 process soft limit: 200
lsphp5 process hard limit: 200
(400 and 450 for security tab settings)

Are these reasonable values for a high traffic web site with 8 GB ram installed on the server?

I decreased Per Client Throttling options and noticed my pages with 100+ small gifs loads slower. So my current settings:

Static Requests/second 100
Dynamic Requests/second 50
Outbound Bandwidth (bytes/sec) 0
Inbound Bandwidth (bytes/sec) 0
Connection Soft Limit 50
Connection Hard Limit 100
Grace Period (sec) 15
Banned Period (sec) 300

I know these are a little high for preventing ddos but i want my pages which have tons of gif and flash load really fast.

What i want is reasonable ddos protection and no performance limit. Especially for Google bot crawling many pages at the same time.

Usually, only the main page are generated by PHP script, other images/js/css are static files, so, I recommend using "1" as the limit,
However, if you have multiple requests served by PHP dynamically within one page, like some images, you may need to increase the "Dynamic Requests/second", it depends on your site, I do not recommend use a value higher than 5, otherwise it will not serve the purpose.

Ok. I figured out the blank white screen problem is because of xcache. When i try to view a page with a big query (vbulletin's online.php file with the max limit of 200) it's rarely loading the page. It was working good with apache. My xcache settings in php.ini:
Code: 
[xcache-common]
;; install as zend extension (recommended), normally "$extension_dir/xcache.so"
zend_extension = "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/xcache.so"
zend_extension_ts = "c:/php/extensions/php_xcache.dll"
;; For windows users, replace xcache.so with php_xcache.dll
;; or install as extension, make sure your extension_dir setting is correct
;; or win32:

[xcache]
; ini only settings, all the values here is default unless explained
; select low level shm/allocator scheme implemenation
xcache.shm_scheme="mmap"
xcache.size=128M
xcache.count=8
xcache.slots=8K
xcache.ttl=0
xcache.gc_interval=0

xcache.var_size=0M
xcache.var_count=8
xcache.var_slots=8K
xcache.var_ttl=0
xcache.var_maxttl=0
xcache.var_gc_interval=0

xcache.test =                Off
; N/A for /dev/zero
xcache.readonly_protection = Off
; for *nix, xcache.mmap_path is a file path, not directory.
; Use something like "/tmp/xcache" if you want to turn on ReadonlyProtection
; 2 group of php won't share the same /tmp/xcache
; for win32, xcache.mmap_path=anonymous map name, not file path
xcache.mmap_path =    "/dev/zero"


; leave it blank(disabled) or "/tmp/phpcore/"
; make sure it's writable by php (without checking open_basedir)
xcache.coredump_directory =   ""

; per request settings
xcache.cacher =               On
xcache.stat   =               On
xcache.optimizer =            On

[xcache.coverager]
; per request settings
; enable coverage data collecting for xcache.coveragedump_directory and xcache_coverager_start/stop/get/clean() functions (will hurt executing performance)
xcache.coverager =          Off

; ini only settings
; make sure it's readable (care open_basedir) by coverage viewer script
; requires xcache.coverager=On

I disabled xcache and installed apc. I have the same problem. Out of memory...

php.ini memory limit: 128M
lsphp5 memory soft limit: 512M
lsphp5 memory hard limit: 768M

It doesn't matter if i double these values or not.

PHP suEXEC is disabled from the beginning. Even setting -1 for the memory limit didn't matter. I actually tried disabling memory limiting from both php.ini and lsws but it didn't help, either. The page loads when xcache or apc is disabled.

Are you sure the memory limit in php.ini has been set to a higher value? check the phpinfo() page.

I have another issue :(

I click the "Top Statistics" from vbulletin admin cp and the result:
Code: 
Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Unable to save result set in [path]/includes/class_core.php on line 427
Code: 
Invalid SQL:
SELECT userid, username, posts FROM user ORDER BY posts DESC;

MySQL Error   : Lost connection to MySQL server during query
Error Number  : 2013
I went to db server's phpmyadmin and entered the sql query manually, it's displayed instantly. I think litespeed is limiting the request to the other server. I tried disabling the limitations once again but it failed...

I switched to apache and it was working... i'm pretty sure that the limits are my problems (not php.ini and my.cnf settings)...
