Apache httpd connection refused during stress test using jmeter

Question

Now, I do stress test using jemter in windows(jmeter.bat).

Number of Threads = 100
Ramp-up period = 0 
Loop count = 1000

But raise connection refused error in jmeter, after 20~30 seconds. I can not find connection refused error in /usr/local/apache/logs/error.log or /usr/local/apache/logs/access.log.

Test is HTTP GET, index.html("It's works") Apache MPM is worker and setting below:

<IfModule mpm_worker_module>
StartServers            8
MinSpareThreads         64
MaxSpareThreads        1024 
ThreadsPerChild         64
MaxRequestWorkers       512
MaxConnectionsPerChild   0

jmeter problem? any apache setting problem?

jmeter exception below:

Answer 1

It's not a jmeter issue:

• check components between jmeter and apache (firewall, load balancer, ddos protection ...)

• check apache settings, to check this rampup slowly and see starting from which load you get those errors.
