Description:
------------
Impossible to increase SOMAXCONN value by updating system OS variable. PHP must be compiled with --enable-sockets for this bug to be produced.

OS setting updated with:

# sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=2048
net.core.somaxconn = 2048

PHP will always return 128 for SOMAXCONN and will not respect the OS setting. Additionally, it will ignore a define statement in PHP code and return 128 as well.

Reproduce code:
---------------
define("SOMAXCONN", 2048);
echo SOMAXCONN;


Expected result:
----------------
Should return 2048

Actual result:
--------------
Returns 128

PHP uses the SOMAXCONN from sys/socket.h at compile time.

In CentOS5.3 its actually : /usr/include/linux/socket.h

Thanks, that did the trick.

Replace:

/* Maximum queue length specifiable by listen.  */
#define SOMAXCONN	128

With:

/* Maximum queue length specifiable by listen.  */
#define SOMAXCONN	2048

Then recompile PHP

I'm trying to compile php 5.5.16 on Centos 6.4 64 bit to increase SOMAXCONN
After add to file:
/usr/include/linux/socket.h
#define SOMAXCONN 256

cat /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn
256
cat test.php
<?php
echo SOMAXCONN;
?>

php test.php
128
