Apache: How to improve performance on OpenVMS
After analyzing serious performance problems with Apache CSWS V2.2 on a fairly busy BL860C i2 OpenVMS 8.4 system, I've come to the following conclusions that might benefit others:
1. When file version numbers on log files in apache$specific:[000000] get to ;32767, the following entries will be seen in the system accounting file:
LOGIN FAILURE
-------------
Username: APACHE$WWW
...
Final status text: %RMS-E-CRE, ACP file create failed
...
When this occurs, there are significant delays when web clients load pages from the Apache server.
After using a utility to reset the version numbers on these log files, performance is restored. The difference was dramatic.
2. If there's the DCL command "SET DIRECTORY/VERSION_LIMIT=10" in apache$common:[000000]login.com, which may be there if you've upgraded from previous CSWS versions, the following entry is seen in the system accounting log:
LOGIN FAILURE
-------------
Username: APACHE$WWW
...
Final status text: %RMS-E-FLK, file currently locked by another user
...
This also results in delays when loading pages and unnecessary disk I/O. While this condition is not as frequent as the first, the "SET DIRECTORY/VERSION_LIMIT=10" command should be removed from login.com. I suspect you'll only have this command if you've upgraded from previous versions of CSWS.

Re: Apache: How to improve performance on OpenVMS
Yes, agree with this, we implemented these changes 3 or 4 years ago and have had no problems since.
Login does as little as possible:
$ ! Login.Com for Apache HTTP (WWW) Server
$ !
$ set proc/parse=extend
$ exit
Overnight during low/no web site usage time:
$ pu apache_disk:[apache.specific.*]
$ ren/exc=*.dir apache_disk:[apache.specific.*]*.* ;1

Re: Apache: How to improve performance on OpenVMS
Best way to improve webserver performance on OpenVMS is to run WASD instead of Apache! :-)
(Seriously, WASD is much more efficient and doesn't insist that every file being served is StreamLF. It also doesn't create thousands of log files unless you want it to.)
