To install that the following should write:
cd /tmp/
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-qos/files/latest/download?source=files
The file will be downloaded in the tmp folder. The file name would be download?source=files. you should unzip the files.
tar xvfz download?source=files
After this command, new folder will be created. The folder name is mod_qos-9.76. The folder name would be changed with the change of the qos module version.
A tool for building and installing extension modules for the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server.
Now we need apxs which a tool for building and installing extension modules for the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. For apxs, we need to install the appropriate dev package and gcc of course, ie:
sudo apt-get install apache2-threaded-dev gcc
We need to change the directory for that
cd mod_qos-9.76/apache2/
To install the qos module , the following command is useful:
sudo apxs2 -i -c mod_qos.c
If everything works fine then you can this in the below:
If everything worked fine you'll get something like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/lib/apache2/modules
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
chmod 644 /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_qos.so
Now qos module is installed in the apache. We need to add two files called qos.load and qos.conf in the /etc/apache2/mods-available/ folder. For that:
cd /etc/apache2/mods-available/
sudo gedit qos.load
Add the command in the textpad and save before close that.
LoadModule qos_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_qos.so
Next command will be :
sudo gedit qos.conf
In the text pad you should add the texts and save that before close.
## QoS Settings
<IfModule mod_qos.c>
# handles connections from up to 100000 different IPs
QS_ClientEntries 100000
# will allow only 50 connections per IP
QS_SrvMaxConnPerIP 50
# maximum number of active TCP connections is limited to 256
MaxClients 256
# disables keep-alive when 70% of the TCP connections are occupied:
QS_SrvMaxConnClose 180
# minimum request/response speed (deny slow clients blocking the server, ie. slowloris keeping connections open without requesting anything):
QS_SrvMinDataRate 150 1200
# and limit request header and body (carefull, that limits uploads and post requests too):
# LimitRequestFields 30
# QS_LimitRequestBody 102400
</IfModule>
Now you need to enable the module and restart apache:
sudo a2enmod qos
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
All the things are done. If you want to check the server status just write the following in the web browser address bar:
http://localhost/server-status
If you use real ip, then use your IP-address instead of localhost.
After this command the browser will show like this
