fix MaxRequestWorkers timeout issue #10

Closed PinkSheep closed 2 years ago

PinkSheep commented 6 years ago

Hello I sometimes ran into an issue with the Docker container where WackoPicko would just hang itself up when scanning it with an automated tool like arachni, w3af or zap. The apache error log contained the following entry: AH00161: server reached MaxRequestWorkers setting, consider raising the MaxRequestWorkers setting So that's exactly what I did to fix the issue. I raised the MaxRequestWorkers setting from 150 to 250 and the issue went away.
