Curl错误：Couldn't connect to server

在Linux系统下，开了200个线程分别curl同一个网站，结果程序爆错了，一堆。
出错信息：Couldn't connect to server
打开curl选项调试：
curl_easy_setopt(m_pCurl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
也定位不了错误，后来发现200个线程，每次都有264个任务可以正常处理，而且程序的线程池会自动调度，空闲线程处理新任务，所以才会有264这个数字。

我访问的网站是在Windows创建的一个网站后台，经过询问，得知Windows的web服务器使用的是apache。

此时错误问题可以初步诊断为：apache的最大连接数导致的问题。

于是经过一番修改（修改方法还是国外的，google伟大）：

It seems that the httpd-mpm.conf file holds the answer. But I'm not sure what settings should be changed or even what module apache is running as.

httpd-mpm.conf：

Answers：
The solution is to uncomment the MPM config include in httpd.conf

在httpd.conf文件中，打开该行注释，否则修改无效：
# Server-pool management (MPM specific)
Include conf/extra/httpd-mpm.conf 

apache有2种模式：prefork和worker
通过执行：httpd.exe -l，结果里面没有prefork.c文件，说明本机的apache使用的是worker模式，于是就修改：

 <IfModule mpm_worker_module>
     StartServers          2
     MaxClients          150 #最大连接数
     MinSpareThreads      25
     MaxSpareThreads      75
     ThreadsPerChild      25 #每个子进程的服务线程数目
     MaxRequestsPerChild   0 #单个子进程在其生命周期内处理的总请求数限制，当某个子进程处理过的总请求数到达这个限制后这个进程就会被回收，如果设为0，那么这个进程永远不会过期
 </IfModule>

修改MaxClients值，重启apache服务，问题解决！
