i have set worker\_connections 10024 ,but i user the loadrunner to test  
it user about 1000 user,it only can pass 700 user,how to resove the max  
connections?  
There is error message:  
Action.c(4): Error -27796: Failed to connect to server “19.16.8.187:80”:  
[10061] Connection refused  
Action.c(4): Error -26610: HTTP Status-Code=502 (Bad Gateway) for  
“[http://19.16.8.187/gdceportal/index.aspx](http://19.16.8.187/gdceportal/index.aspx)”

There is my nginx config:

#user nobody;  
worker\_processes 1;

#error\_log logs/error.log;  
#error\_log logs/error.log notice;  
#error\_log logs/error.log info;

#pid logs/nginx.pid;

events {  
worker\_connections 10024;  
}

http {  
include mime.types;  
default\_type application/octet-stream;

```
#log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local]

```

“$request” ’  
# '$status $body\_bytes\_sent “$http\_referer” ’  
# ‘“$http\_user\_agent” “$http\_x\_forwarded\_for”’;

```
#access_log logs/access.log main;

sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;

#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 120;

#gzip on;

```

upstream 19.16.8.187{

```
ip_hash;

```

server 19.16.8.188:80;  
server 19.16.8.189:80;  
}
