Subject: Error 503 ocurring when server under load
From: Rob G <robatgumtree@gmail.com>
To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hey all,

Recently migrated a production site (mixture of Servlets and JSPs)
from Oracle Application Server to Apache/Tomcat. Since then we have
seen numerous HTTP Error 503 - Service unavailable errors at peak
times when site is under load. mod_jk.log has the following error
message(s):

[2184:1952] [error] jk_lb_worker.c (1473): All tomcat instances
failed, no more workers left

I'm looking for help in trying to tweak settings to prevent this, or
confirmation that I've configured the setup correctly.

Many thanks
Rob
