Hello,

 

I've Been reading this case & I'm exactly in the same situation. WebGUI becomes unusable, it works when restarting httpd service "bigstart restart httpd"

 

SSH is fine bug HTTPS is slow & Goes down after seconds.

Hello Yazid/everyone,

Apologies for not updating this thread before, but what we managed to do to stop the crash of webui was adding additional parameters in /etc/tomcat/server.xml:

           redirectPort="8443"
           enableLookups="true"
           address="127.0.0.1"
           maxParameterCount="32500"
           maxConnections="10" <==== Add this parameter to match the Apache MaxClients value
           keepAliveTimeout="5000" <=====Add this parameter to define a timeout of 5000 milliseconds (or whatever value you want to use)
           tomcatAuthentication="false" />

And then restart httpd and tomcat service.

Hope this helps!
