Apache Tomcat: Please increase maxThreads error and solution

Posted by Vivek Gite [Last updated: September 19, 2006]

Q. I am getting following error:

...All threads are busy, waiting. Please increase maxThreads or check the servlet status...
How do I fix this problem?

A. You need to setup a higher value for maxProcessors in Tomcat's server.xml file. Open the file:

# vi server.xml

Set the maxProcessor value to 500 or something higher as per your requirement. Restart the Apache/Tomcat to take effect.
